    Anybody here installed one of those plug-and-play throttle controllers? Do those really improve throttle response? Looking at buying the one from Mikstore

    btw, the annoying creaking sound is present also when passing thru road humps.. that's why I thought the problem was the stab links..

    replacing the #4 support solved it.. now its solid suspension
    The OEM #4 support doesn't last long. Twice replaced on my 2017 Mazda 3, first 20k+ km and on another 20k+ km. What brand did you get as a replacement? Where did you sourced it?

    i noticed that the #4 support is too soft.. the replacement i got have harder rubber.. got it from a seller in shopee..

    at first engine vibrations are more noticeable in the new support but disappeared after a few days of use.

    i noticed that shifts are more solid, less clunky.. saw some mazda "hacks" where they fill the #4 support with poly sealant to make it stiffer..

    Been doing the hobo PU fill to tired & worn rubber mounts, regardless of make. They do hold up well long-term. The leaky fluid-filled ones are best replaced.

    Reading some of the posts, owners seem to be doing a lot of workaround for a car that's not even 10 years old.

    i haven't perused them threads.
    but if i see that if the threads are active, some possibilities come to mind, before i consider "marupok car syndrome":
    1. "upgrade fever".
    2. aggressive driving.
    3. "ill-knowing owner". aayusin kahit walang sira, or, hindi i-maintain, hanggang na-damay na ang ibang piyeza.
    3. rezing rezing!

    Anyone here experience their torque converter oil leaking? Rubber seal is budget friendly, but the labor cost is OMG.
