Reviews of OEM Mazda parts For Business

Proper depowered rack in my NB, I love it. You don't really notice it when you're moving.

I bought a used manual steering rack instead, and absolutely love it! Moderate low speed effort with precise high-speed inputs and feedback. I think a manual rack from the factory is the way to go, if you can swing it.

160k kms mazda 3 1.6 owner. Aside from timing belt kit, shocks, tie rods, AC compressor, it’s just the usual spark plugs, filter and oil.

Lastly, have power steering fluid flushed.

Pacific Mazda has been okay; they only pushed an unnecessary break maintenance so far.

Feels like my CX90 steering rack has a bunch of these in it when I turn the wheel.

I can tell you the recall done on the steering rack is a complete joke. It doesn’t fix anything. We’re supposed to push a little bit of grease back into the plastic gear and install a new little cap, spring and bolt. It just so Mazda can say “they tried” while spending the least possible money.

I went to pick up my car from the dealership after a steering rack failure that occurred at highway speeds. The dealership confirmed they have been replacing more and more steering racks, especially recently. The steering rack is failing at the worm gear, and this part has been revised several times. I've never had a warrantied part fail in a way that tried to throw me into a concrete barrier at highway speeds. I don't feel safe putting my family in this car. After signing paperwork, I realized the steering was still messed up; the steering wheel wasn't returning to center, almost like there wasn't enough power steering pressure. The car never left the dealership.

The cooling system in my 8 is completely stock and being a stock 8 of course the coolant level sensor doesn’t work.

My CX50 windshield cracked in June, started out a few inches at the top of my windshield but past the point of fixing. In those few months it completely spread to the bottom of the windshield.
