    Re: DIY Control Arm replacement 2010 GS

    It would seem to me that the dealer charges about $180-$200 for the arm at the parts counter. If you could pay for actual labour, (assuming you could buy a minimum of an hour) you should be able to...

    Re: Any good shop for walnut blasting?

    D'oh! I need to pay more attention



    Well you could check that they fit snug on the spark plug. If you had a wire brush you could give them a once over. ...

    I don't remember him mentioning if it was a Mazdaspeed. Or even if it was a Skyactive or even what year.

    Re: Any good shop for walnut blasting?

    No. I don't think that is a certainty. Cars run pretty clean these days. Back in the day before modern fuel injection where carbs would run rich, then yeah sure.

    Re: Battery draining

    So if your door switch is broken, then perhaps your interior light is on too? If you have super dark tint you wouldn't notice when walking away from the car.

  10. Re: Fyi: Always powered cigarette lighter port has no voltmeter (Gen3)

    I believe the Chargeguard has two modes, either time delay after key off, or settable voltage threshold for shutoff 11.5V, 12V, 12.5V. etc. If you spent a little time with Google, you could download...
  11. Re: Fyi: Always powered cigarette lighter port has no voltmeter (Gen3)

    You wouldn't add a voltmeter to an accessory port.

  12. Re: Fyi: Always powered cigarette lighter port has no voltmeter (Gen3)

    I think you are trying to say that the accessory port isn't switched with the ignition switch or does not have a battery saver. Also known as "always on" or "constant power".

    A voltmeter is a...

    Re: DIY Control Arm replacement 2010 GS

    I was meaning to have an alignment, but just have been too lazy to set that up. I haven't noticed any abnormal tire wear or steering issues.

    If you got both sides done for $452, I'd say that is...

    Are you going to tint them redder than red?

    Came in hoping the OP's question wouldn't be as vapid as the thread title.

    Re: DIY Control Arm replacement 2010 GS

    I don't drive the car nearly as often as my wife. Maybe once a week.

    I would say that the car is much tighter now. It was a definite improvement.

    Re: DIY Control Arm replacement 2010 GS

    I would say somewhere between. The car did have a little bit of front end clunkiness. The car only has 120,000 kms on it. I don't have any particular tools or techniques for gauging ball joint wear,...
