How to Replace the Rear Differential Bushings on a Mazda CX9
How to replace the rear subframe bushings for the differential on a Mazda CX-9 AWD. This is a 2015 model, so this applies to the first generation but a similar procedure can be applied to other generations as well as other SUV models from Mazda. Failing bushings will cause your vehicle to vibrate during acceleration or cornering during a takeoff. Unfortunately Mazda does not carry the parts, they want to sell you a whole new subframe instead. The parts are available through an aftermarket supplier, I have seen upgraded bushing options online too. #oemtools #mazdacx9 #mazda

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-dye grinder
-drum sander
-carbide burr bit
-new bushings
-brass hammer
-hammer
-brass bar
-socket or pipe
-Bessey clamp
Procedure:
First is driving the rear of the vehicle on ramps for more room. Drop the spare tire using the supplied tools in the trunk.
Using a 17mm socket with a ratchet, remove the two nuts and washers. Using a hacksaw, cut the webbing out of the bushings so we can remove the centers.
I tried different methods to remove the old bushings with no luck. A hammer and chisel or a punch. And using a hacksaw blade to cut the outer front. Then I tried an air hammer, but it didn’t work.
The best option I found was using a die grinder with a burr bit to cut the outer ring. You don’t need to cut it all the way through, but a majority of the way it can separate and the ring will from the tension which makes it easy to remove.
I did put the ring forward and this will help clean the exposed hole as it may be filled with rust. Pull the ring out from the spare tire side as shown here. Pliers work great for assisting in the removal. Remove the other ring. Make note of the orientation of the bushing, the new replacement will need to be installed in the same position.
Using a drum sander with the dye grinder, clean the holes. Remove any rust or debris so the new bushings don’t have any binging with the installation.
I did try a test fit with the new bushings and there is no way to install these as there’s too much of an interference fit. Meaning that they’re far too large for the holes. I have seen some posts online also complaining about this issue.
I have read about people grinding these down but by far the best way is turning these down in a lathe. They were trued up using a dial indicator within 0.005”, and then the diameter was brought down by 0.040” from the original measurement.
Once the one was turned down, I was able to hammer it into the hole. Make sure it’s in the right orientation. This is a tight fit and should be so it doesn’t have any movement when everything is back together. I used a brass hammer to start it, this is softer than the outer ring and will not cause any damage. The center stud for the differential can be adjusted back to a jack to move it up or down, ensuring that the bushing is going in correctly. Make sure you go around the perimeter of the bushing and not in one spot so the bushing is pushed in evenly.
A hammer with a brass bar can be used to push it in flush to this side of the subframe.
Next was using a Bessey clamp with ball joint press attachments. These have an insane amount of clamping force so they’re great for pressing in bushings. When it’s clamped in place, you can hit the threaded rod with a hammer to help relieve some tension by driving that bushing in. Then compress the clamp again and repeat.
You can make some small adjustments using the outer ring from the ball joint kit and a hammer. The bushing needs to be almost flush with the other side. The same position of depth as the old bushing.
Then the same process is done with the other bushing. First it’s hammered in and then pressed in after.
Make sure those bushings are properly in place, then reinstalling those washers and tightening up the nuts with a 17mm deep socket and ratchet.
Put the spare tire back into place.

  • @motleyassortment5512

    After 10 or 15 years, they stop carrying and making parts for cars. You have to custom make by a welder or craftsman. It's the same way with Toyota, after 16 years the parts are obsolete . Don't even think about getting your catalytic converter replaced. If a welder can't custom make parts anymore, for your car then you have to call tow truck to have it hauled away.

  • @motleyassortment5512

    Mechanics won't waste time repairing your car if the time and labor is not worth their time. One dealership try to charge me $2000 just to cleanup oil spill on hood and tighten the engine oil cap. Nothing wrong with the car, just somebody didn't tighten the cap tight enough and when I drove, oil exploded everywhere under the hood. You have to be careful, because they will quote you for a nonsense car repair . If dealership don't have the part you need, go to junk yard to buy parts from cars that have been towed to facility. You will have to unistall the parts yourself, so bring your own tools, hat, and sunscreen, and 1 extra person to help you pull apart and carry item.

    I bought a new Motive bleeder kit along with motive adapter that is advertised as compatible with Hyundai / Kia. I had mixed results. I just read the quick instructions on the box. ( No long detailed instructions paper included - you are supposed to print them from the Motive website & the FAQ's ) I skipped the dry test, where you connect the system, no fluid, & hold 13-15 psi pressure for ten minutes. and poured brake fluid into the Motive pump. I pumped and around 11 psi the adapter leaked fluid on my engine. NASTY. Of course, i picked the wrong size rubber o-ring adapter ( its not a spare they are different sizes). I cleaned up. I then unscrewed the adapter, cleaned it , and screwed it back on, albeit tighter. Now the system holds pressure fine. Proceeded to bleed my brakes. Good. However, when I attempted to remove the motive adapter, it wouldn't turn. Tried & tried. Read on internet to double-check counterclockwise to remove . Waited for next day, my 250 lbs couldn't unscrew the adapter. Now im driving with the adapter still on but corked and encased in duct tape. Frustrating. I emailed Motive Support & they responded there is no procedure to remove an over tightened & wrong size rubber o ring. They pointed me to slip joint / Channel lock pliers .
