Squeaky sway bar bushings front rear.

[cwp_sedan]

Honestly kris. Super nice guy but

Seriously man..ive gotta say..

SELL YOUR SPEED!

Squeaky bushings = reason to sell your car. Um no. Please don't tell me it's not the only problem with the car, I can read lol.





Grease or replace the bushings. Simple as that. Since it is colder you will have more noises like mentioned above. Deal with it.

[fywdyl]

See, the thing is, many people have suggested that Kris should grease the bushings, but instead of saying, "Thanks guys, I'll give that a try.", he just keeps complaining about the car and how it shouldn't do it blah, blah, blah.

A solution was presented, he was not satisfied, so, being the nice people that we are on TM3, we provided another solution (sell the car). We tried to help, but when it just leads to more bitching, people get tired of it.

Kris, you bought a car that's built in Japan, specifically in the Yamaguchi prefecture, where the coldest it gets is around -5C. You can't possibly expect an economically priced sports car to be tested in all conditions.

What everyone is trying to say here is, instead of worrying about every little thing that happens with the car, just enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, get a different car.

I won't say anthing to the rest of your post, but to the high lighted part -CRAP! Mazda is not new to Canada, it shouldn't matter where the car is built, Mazda was also in co-existence with Ford, whom happen to run some of the best cold weather testing around, for years. There is no excuse for the issues people are experiencing with their suspension bushings. I've owned several cars of different manufacture; North American, European and Japanese and never had issues with suspension bushings with any of them. If Mazda is aware of the issue, then as Kris mentioned earlier they should have some preventative measures in place, such as possibly lubing the bushings at each oil change. They do mention suspension lube with thier oil-changes. Either that or it should be a recall or service bulletin and the bushings should be replaced at no charge by Mazda....It is not acceptable to expect to replace bushings or to live with the noise so early. Maybe after ten years or so, Okay, but not earlier.

You just further proved my point. If you're not happy with what Mazda is doing, either take it up with them or sell the car.

How did I prove your point? By proving you wrong in part of your statement? ....LOL.

What part of what I said was wrong?

That the cars are made in Yamaguchi? That's a fact.

That Yamaguchi has lows of around -5C? That's a fact.

That the MS3 is an economically priced sports car? That's a fact.

My point is (I will make it BOLD so it's more clear), IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE VEHICLE, GET RID OF IT.

Enough derailment, un-subbed.

[2012speed3]

For 30k the MS3 is a bargain, it's not perfect but it is what it is..... take it or leave it.

How about the part; "You can't possibly expect an economically priced sports car to be tested in all conditions." ....Funny how you cut out the part that you know I was referring too....This is a total bull statement. I think you have been derailed, not I. Oh and I don't think the 3 is classified a Sports car either, lol.

Also, your point is simply a defeatist attitude, so as you believe, if a manufacturer builds an inferior product, which the unsuspecting buyer paid full price for, one should just ignore the faults, sell the product and move on, no doubt costing the owner even more? ...yeah, Okay.

Enough with the balls out statements boys. I don't care who is right or wrong at this point. You've both said your bit so move along.

I know what you are talking about.I bought my 2010.speed3 in 09/2009. while I was still in Winnipeg and had same problem.With bad response from Mazda it took me almost 3 years to fix the problem.The fact is that those bushings shrink during cold weather and get worn.When it is warm,there is no noise.Anyway,Mazda has issued a service bulletin addressing the issue.I've done it on my car and seems to be working.Job was done at Westown Mazda at 5511 Dundas.I don't have the SB number but I'm sure service guys know about it.If your car is under warranty there is no cost for you except 4 wheel alignment.Hope this helps you.
