Aaanton "tell your neighbors to move out" I am moving in, so I have been looking for a second hand car a SUV I liked the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, but there is an issue with the 1.2 engines. After weeks of looking the Mazda CX 5 was recommended with really good reviews better on the petrol than diesel, but beggars cannot be choosers when you set budget with criteria such as full service history and under 100k on a 2017 or higher model. The issues on these are far miles away from that on a BMW 320D m sport, the Mazda have DPF issues and Turbo and oil leaks sound familiar lol (BMW) what are they like to drive and own! Thanks for the video Aaanton much appreciated as are your comments and skills - Spence

This one is not mine I just did the job on it, although the car has been ok, but it does have some wear on the suspension bushes and could do with a coating of aqua steel, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Every spring I break out the pressure washer and clean the road salt and dirt off my CX5. Only a bit of surface rust on areas that I have missed

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Nice video mate! I've just bought Mazda CX 5 from 2012 so feel free to upload more diy fixes whenever you have to take care about something ;-)

[@aaanton11]

you do not turn the stabilizer link allen you turn the nut. Turning the allen spins the joint which is not good for it. The allen is there to keep it from spinning the joint!

I usually spray the rust off a few times a several days before the repair

I've noticed on some newer cars, like this Mazda, the shock and spring are installed independent from one another. I'm wondering, is this easier to work on when replacing the shock and/or spring compared to when the shock and spring came out as a single unit? My guess is that it might be easier with this setup since you wouldn't require a spring compressor to change out the shock.

[@aaanton11]

Yes usually on the rear, most front setups are spring into strut, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@colinc7352]

is the spring just flying out and killing someone a possibility?

[@aaanton11]

Not on this one, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

My 2015 mazda cx5 broke on the same coil, in the exact same spot, same rust everywhere, has 348000 km on it. The shock mount was also cracked in half ha ha

[@aaanton11]

Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@mariuszmikua7136]

Same here, rust is all over the place

[@ianrimmer1968]

How old is that Mazda? It looks quite new, to have so much rust underneath.

[@aaanton11]

Its 11 years old, with 83000 miles, poor under body protection, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@fauii8679]

Experts say, never replace suspension elements only on one side.

[@aaanton11]

By experts do you mean garages, they will always want to charge you for as much as possible, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@toy838]

Gd video why don't car makers finish metal off properly I have waxoled mine,thx

[@aaanton11]

This one could do with a coat, it seems more common than before, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

[@kevinmcg6747]

Mazda are pretty poor at undersealing with relatively new cars (eg 4yrs old) showing annoying levels of rust!

[@aaanton11]

Yep Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
