suspension

Can I use a regular Mazda 3 driver spindle knuckle on my 07 speed 3

Does anyone know or can confirm that the gen1 base model 3 hatchback subframe fit the gen1 speed 3? Are they the same or different? I want to replace mine on my speed as it’s rusted pretty bad but can seem to find much for the gen1.

What's up everyone? My name is TYCO. I bought my MS6 in March because I knew I wanted an all wheel drive 6 speed. I did not know I was going to be buying one of the rarest cars I have ever owned, Google says around 5,000 were made. With that being said, I am VERY GRATEFUL for all of the forums...

Hey guys, there's a very loud clunking noise coming from the front driver side of my 2013 mazdaspeed 3. This happens when turning and going straight and reverse. Here are all of the parts I recently replaced to try and fix the clunking: *sway bar end links *tie rod outter & inner ends *CV axle...

So... my rear passenger shock has started leaking. This has been all too expected, as in the past year or so my oem suspension has really started to show its age. Now, as I look for replacement options, I realize that most coilovers are well outside my current broke-boi budget. I want an upgrade...

Howdy y’all. Been looking through the threads, and I could just be an idiot but I haven’t found a thread anywhere with ride height fitment for MS3, so I want to see what other people are running in regards to ride heights, spring rates and dampening, etc. Post pictures too if you want. I’m...

Hey all. I have huge fender gap on my 6 and the PO says he thinks he installed the Bilsteins with the perch upside down. Does he mean the top plate and bearing? All the pictures I can find are generic so I'm not sure what they look like. I'm guessing I need to pull the whole assembly to fix...

https://edgeautosport.com/jbr-billet-adjustable-rear-camber-arms-mazdaspeed-3-2007-2013/ Installed these along with coilovers etc. Getting a pretty pronounced "chatter" coming from the rear at very low speed like 5-10mph. I've had two mechanics look at it (one of them twice), and after trying...

2008 Mazdaspeed 3 When backing out of the drive, when I hit the brake there is a small clunk coming from the wheel/hub area, then shift into 1st drive to the stopsign and hit the brake, same noise. The noise disappears completely once I'm on the road moving forward, no noises once I have braked...

I'm not a stanced racer boy, but I still love this car and don't have the money to buy something more appropriate for the bumpy, potholed dirt & snow-covered roads I keep finding myself on, so I've been thinking lately that I'd like to get a bit more ground clearance. I'm planning to get some...

Has anyone heard of or have any experience with Yellowspeed? I found a set of Yellowspeed Dynamic Pro Sport Coilovers for sale locally for $650. Are these any good? Or garbage? https://yellowspeedracingusa.com/collections/all/products/dynamic-pro-sport-coilovers-2010-2013-mazda-3-bl-incl-mazdaspeed

I just bought a 2007 Mazdaspeed3. The struts where shock so I replaced them all the way around. I starting hearing this bad noise from the front right tire, and when I looked the sway bar was disconnected from the strut. I found arandom bolt that fit on it and put it back together, but the other...

Hey everyone, I posted a thread a little while back asking for opinions/suggestions for new wheels. That thread went so well that here I am again asking for more, only this time about possible suspension setups. My original plan was to get a set of Swift Spring and some Konis or Bilstein...

Alrighty! That concludes the sign up...we did not reach the 30 name price break, but since this is the first group buy and I have some wicked love for the MS3, I gave the extra 10 dollars off anyway! This means with the code, you can get my traction bar for 109.95 shipped to your door Code is...

TLDR: I installed expensive new coilovers that had no known reviews/proven on the MS3 platform before. Had some minor issues on install, but easily resolved. Lot of pictures. My review of them: I love them and highly recommend for daily/weekend track racer use. Finally getting around to...

I was driving the other day and a semi was in front of me. He hit a pothole and a giant chunk of concrete bumped out right in front of me. Before I could even react I knew my tire was going to hit it. It hit in the middle and sounded super awesome aka terrible. I then drove the car more and did...

Searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone that has this setup. Found a killer deal on a set of Koni Orange/Str.t with H&R springs but they only made this package for Genpus... I know that the rear shocks will require spacers to fit. But are there any significant differences (internally)...
