20 Most Recent Suspension & Steering for Mazda MAZDA5 Questions & Answers

Is the clunking occuring when steering or just on rough roads? With suspension clunks tie rod ends are the most comonly over looked component. To check the tie rod ends jack up each side individually and place jack supports under vehichle in manufacturer allocated position with the parking brake on , on a flat surface . Check the tire deflection by attempting to turn the tire by hand in a side to side fasion also check the lateral deflection of the wheel bearings . There are inner and outer tie rod ends on your vehichle . Other suspension components that can cause clunking are the struts to check these bounce the car as you would a basket ball with your hand by pressing firmly down on each front corner and releasing you may hear the clunk during this test as well.

Pulling hard seems to me that a bearing may be freezing up/going bad or a brake is not consistently releasing. Is this more noticeable as you break or is there any grinding?

try chiltons or Haynes for repair manuals carry a variety at Canadian tire in Canada but most auto supply places have them might need to order it for yours though not a common vehicle as in a cavalier

Do you mean for the key fob or for the unit mounted in the vehicle? The key fob has either a screw in the back, or it snaps together. Take the battery to the jewelry counter at Walmart and they'll give you a replacement. If you mean the unit mounted in the vehicle, it is powered buy the vehicles battery. It may have an internal battery for memory retention, but it would void the waranty taking it apart to replace it.

As long as it wasn't hot when you removed it then its either and/or your thermostat or water pump or a stopped up radiator. I would start w/ the thermostat.

Do u want the location, what size or how to? "Haynes manual" at your local auto parts store is a life saver for anyone w/ a vehicle. I have one for all 3 vehicles we have.

Your local automotive store should have it or should be able to order it, they can usually have it the next day or if you go early enough they might can get it before they close.

Sounds like you have experienced complete CV failure. You need to replace the CV joint, probably around a $100 repair.

establish a right angle center line of the head and work from one side to the other side of the center line one bolt at a time. back and forth till you cover all the bolts twice over. never more than 85 ft lbs of torque on each bolt. I usely go to 65 lbs and then 85 lbs. If your not to sure of this answer use your computer to find the proper torque for your head, but this is the way I been doing for on and about 50 years.

The air within the radiator should bleed out naturally after you've run the car up to operating temperature. Allow the car to cool off before removing the radiator cap and refill until full; as the radiator fluid circulates throughout the system, the excess air will rise to its highest point which is the expansion tank or radiator cap. Most radiator caps are located on the expansion tank but do not open the cap when hot due to the pressure build up within the system; if you're not sure if it's cool enough use a large rag or towel and cover the cap in case of pressure release.
