My turn for broken diff bolts...

Postby Eclipse » Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:14

My rear diff bolts finally decided to take a dump on me yesterday, thats a pretty damn scary noise, ... I havent driven my car hard in months, the dealer says the bolts actually seized and then broke..proof that the weak spot is definite, and its a matter of time before it happens to you and your car as well..

Courtesy Mazda is taking care of the issue, and giving me a low-ball trade-in appraisal, lol....even though I dont see myself in any of the new Mazdas..

Well hopefully they replace it with the upgraded bolts (that are actually a grade series bolt). That sucks man.
