hi, where is the video on front hood struts?

thank you

 

It's been several years since I put mine on the CX5 and MX5, but I think I got them on EBay.

 

Have these, very good quality and easy install.

2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD, here.

For the format (a "baby" SUV): it's a good amount of flexible space, above that of a typical sedan, but without over-doing it.

For the CX-5: it's fairly well-appointed and quiet, with full marks for simple reliability and relatively low cost of maintenance.

Same here, rural roads, and the the lights even dim when you come up on someone from behind. Nice feature.

 

Redline are the best.

 

So any issues with the turbo etc? That's my biggest concern. How many clicks are these Mazda good for? My toyota ran for 350k and no issues whatsoever. My first Mazda cx5 turbo 2021.5 model. Will it last as long?

 

front hood bonnet lifts/struts. Yes the Redline model is much superior, but double the price at $120 US. The Chinese ones, are $50 Canadian. Not as nice because they only have one bolt holding the hood.
A utube video as shows a chap installing genuine Mazda struts, but i can't find them here online. Thanks for the tip i will install in summer.

 

They are more expensive, but the quality is very high. I'm not a fan of hood struts failing while I'm under the hood working on my cars. You can buy a cheaper set and just use the mounting hardware and then just buy struts, But you won't really save much vs the complete Redline set. I believe Mazda no longer sells hood struts, couldn't find them anywhere on-line..

 

If you search around the forums you'll find very few comments about turbo-related issues. It's a Japanese car so expect very good reliability and durability. There are some threads about high mileage cars. Although, I suspect that some of the newer cars won't be as reliable as earlier cars due to all the high-tech stuff on them, just more electronics to fail.
