So today was eventful with the kids MS3. Took it to our local trusted mechanic to see if he could diagnose the front end clunk that has returned and he said everything looks good but the steering rack seems to be the culprit. This was replaced at the Kia dealer prior to purchase and my...

They still list stuff for a few Mazdas, but starting to lean towards the Damond mount as a gift, although the CP-e Stage 2 mount is intriguing.

@Easter Bunny how would you compare them performance wise and NVH wise?

Been reading a bunch on all the different RMM. After reading around here, there and everywhere the faves seem to be the Damond the the CP-E Stage 2. Looking for a useful gift for my kids birthday. After reading I’m leaning towards the CP-E as it seems it performs just as well or better than the...

If you are looking at all-seasons I agree with @Easter Bunny you can't go wrong with Continental DWS 06 tires. I have been putting them on all my cars when the time comes for tire changes and have Continental DW (summer tire) on my convertible which never sees snow/ice. For the money I don't...

I feel your pain, sounds almost exactly to what happened to me in my E-Class last week. Fucked up sidewall, cracked rim and steering wheel noticeably off center. Alignment, rim repair (at least they were able to fix it), and two new tires as the other front already had close to 20k on it so...

I don't think its ball joints because I have absolutely no movement on the wheel either up or down or side to side. I've used basically 2 very good mechanics during my life and one recently retired so right now I am down to one but have to find another just in case I need something quick and...

oh joy, is there something oddballish in the MS3 to lead you to your statement? I mean struts and brakes should be something every mechanic should do with 100% success rate. While I had the car down on the ground I pushed down on both fenders trying to reproduce the noise and also when in the...

L337 I don’t think that’s it but could be wrong. I say that because the Kia dealership where we bought the car said they replaced front shocks as well as a few other parts so I figured the did it right and installed mounts also. Too me the struts look brand new and from what I can see the mounts...

We got around to replacing the front end links today, what was in there were TRW end links, not sure if they are good or bad but unfortunately the new OE end links did not solve the clunking problem. I can't seem to see anything loose or out of sorts so might just have to take it to my mechanic...

so the rears fail just as often as the fronts eh? That sucks as it would be convienient to order from Amazon.

I’ve read the front end links by Moog tend to fail quite early in their lifespan, does this also go for the rears or do they tend to last longer? I’m either ordering the Moogs or heading to Mazda and buy some OE rear end links depending on feedback.

The order was never canceled and never received replies to messaging but after 17 days it showing as shipped. Now to get some rear endlinks.

After reading basically shit reviews on all the aftermarket end links I decided best to go with OE. The closest I found people being happy with is the Moogs but even some have replaced them quite early albeit under warranty but who wants to keep doing that shit over and over even if you are...

I ordered from GetOEMParts.com but in the email I received when I placed the order towards the bottom it says this: Your review will help us continue to improve and help others feel confident about choosing Tasca Parts. So they are one in the same. I called the Tasca Automotive Group directly...

Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone thinking of placing an order. I placed an order back on 3/21 for two end links. On 3/24 received message saying items would ship in 3-5 business days. No updated since so I sent messages on 3/31 and 4/4 asking for an update and no replies. As Im...

Welcome. I’m not even the owner of the MS3 my kid is but I’m such a car junkie I find myself in here a lot. Just going through threads to get a feeling for the platform to help the kid out.

Shocks won't affect ride hide, but different shocks will feel different. If you are stock springs and just swap out shocks ride height won't change.

@L337TurboZ I'll do a google search of the site and check it out. This is currently their top of the line radio running Android 11. Although its always neat having the car logo upon boot up, this unit has a 1 second boot up time so you would never see the logo anyway. As far as wallpapers go...

@Easter Bunny its a Eonon R63. It’s a complete plug and play unit and the only steering wheel control that is lost is the voice recognition. It can be wireless or wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto. So far so good, my kid also had an Eonon in the BMW E90 that always worked flawlesly. I thought...
