got the tensioner after discounts and vouchers.. hehe

now i'm scouting for parts to replace the lower arm bushings.. the big bushing is starting to crack..

i've seen some folks are replacing the bushing with polyurethane type.. and it turns out that the bushing itself can be pushed out as opposed to replacing the whole assembly

polyurethane inserts last typically longer than yun regular rubber ones pero bear in mind di siya kasing compliant ng goma so you may feel more of the road

Nice.. but that seems not locally available sir..

Reviews say that poly bushings improves the handling..

In mazda forums, i've seen the poly sealant mod.. they say that it fixes the suspension noise and improved braking control too

Oz product(seen them carried locally for other makes( SUPERPRO SPF292B-4K SWAY BAR BUSH KIT (NISSAN ‘88-’16 Patrol, TOYOTA ‘95-’2 LC9 Prado, MITSUBISHI, All Models) ), those in pic were sent over from NA. PU bushes are firmer, will last longer, are gonna be noisier & would require periodic lube. The PU sealant mod on voids & tears of tired bushes will revive them some but won't bring them back to new. Expect more NVH.

Thanks for this! I’m about to order the Mazda genuine belt tensioner and saw this one. How’s the fitment sir? Swakto talaga for 2.0 engine?

Anyone here tried CANROYAL FULL SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL SAE 5W-30 API SN GF-5?

I wonder if there's an official distributor here in PH

It's on my 3 now but since Mhon also carries Motul I'm using that on my next PMS.

Very satisfied. He worked on my 3 in Mazda Pasig when it was under Yojin3 2014-2016 so it was a bit of a reunion when he finally opened his own shop. He knows the PMS routine and he has his own scan tool so no guessing game here.
