Defensive Driving just has to be the default position of anyone concerned about themselves and their stuff. People are often so frazzled and distracted, self-absorbed and small-minded that this kind of thing is all too common.

I'm amazed at how many people just scrape one side of the windshield or just scrape a little port hole to view through.

Enjoy your Break and Happy Holidays.

Thanks bud. I tried the best i could for the conditions to avoid getting hit by him, but it was a red light and i had a bus in front of me, and cars to my left and right. Sadly there was nothing i could do

The worst is he made no, absolutly no attempt to get any of the ice or snow off his windshield. I kid you not, it was solid ice and snow, not even an attempt to get any off.

I didn't mean the defensive driving comment as a criticism of you. Maybe it sounded that way. Sorry, no offense. Sometimes your only option is just to let it ride and take what comes.

I would have to agree with you on this one Andrew. I was riding in my backseat on Tuesday when Angelo, his grandmother and I were going to dinner. Let's just say, not only could I feel every single bump in the road, but I could hear it as well. They almost sound rusty or maybe they were just frozen!

We have to find a solution to this. I've had mine replaced, and still hear them when it gets really cold... moreso on speedbumps.

is this in the front back or both...i am pretty sure you can just replace the bushings...i know mazda should own up to this but if you don't want to wait...dunno...

I have some spray silicone lubricant made specifically for rubber and plastic against metal parts that I was using for RC Helis when I was into that. If I get bored with being inside during the chilly weekend, I might go buy some ramps and try to get under there and spray the bushings. See what happens.

I might just sit around all day as well. I had an insane day today and I need a relaxing weekend to groove right into my 12 days off (woo hoo) over Xmas and New Years.

Does anyone else have some ideas of what would be a good lubricator for that bushing area and the freezing temps?

Thanks,

G
