Hahaha, nice not having any rust in that ball joint bolt eh? Thanks for posting this video. My bushings cracked so am in the process of replacing them.
@FelixDanGarasiAuto Will do! Failed to get the rusted bolt out over the weekend. Going to try again with a friend's help soon. Hoping don't have to take a torch to it. I also went ahead and ordered some new OE bolts and nuts for the lower control arm to replace the rusted out ones.
I just had my mazda 6 2015 GT bushes crack, at only 65000km, im surprised they failed so early, also 3 x mechanics i visited all said to just replace the entire arm with new bushes, about the same cost to replace the entire part. So replaced both the front lower arms for $983 fitted.

Felix! So how does it drive and handle after the upgraded bushings? Like a new CX-5 or harsh like a track car? What differences can you share with these new LCA bushings? Also, have you changed the fluid in your differential yet? We've both done the transmission and filter (strainer) maintenance but what about diff? Thanks for the video my friend, but I'm not sure I can get these bushings shipped to the US.
with this ones they are very much OEM feels very much feel like new car very smooth. You can find another brands via ebay for SuperPro Australia and i believe they can ship world wide. They also sells polyurethane bushing for our Mazda and all popular model cars. Here in Indonesia we only get Protoflex are mostly for Indonesia market vehicles. With the diff fluid, unfortunately i dont have because we only get 2.0 and 2.5 FWD model here in Indonesia. We Dont even get the diesel skyactiv. 😁
Bro Felix, great video. What replacement part did you get for the other small bushing (looks blueish in your video)? I need to replace mind and would be great if you can share your knowledge and experience as well. Thanks.
@@Shanghaidaddy if you live overseas you can find a brand call Superpro Australia from Ebay they send worldwide . Protoflex brand i believe only available in Indonesia Market. To be honest its like a new car feel once you ve replace the whole front lca bushing. Not harsh feel at all .

Hi , thank you for supporting this channel. I bought it on Ebay. I think these DRL kit are discontinued now. But try to browse on ebay see if they still have left over for grabs. Brand new costs $400Aud back then.
Thank you bro. sementara belum ada yg belakang tapi kalau mau di upgrade seharusnya protoflex bisa design coba hubungi lgs ke whatsapp nya. Mreka bisa buat design nya sesuai part mobilnya. 👍😎
These front LCA bushing does improve stability handling to the front of the car. For the rear might not effect but if you want to tighten the rears , theres a rear stabilizer bushing available replacement upgrade.
Do you also have plans to make a video on how to replace the other bushing of the LCA? Is the ball joint of the LCA also replaceable? I just recently replaced both my LCA for mazda3 and still have the old ones. Planning to get it repaired if possible to have as spare. 🙂

rasa nya mirip mobil baru. handling dan cornering lebih presisi. getaran tdk ada terasa sampai dalam kabin. untuk mobil yg karet karetnya ud lama mending ganti PU Protoflex biar bisa kembalikan rasa mobil baru nya.
bro mau tny , ini dengan mazda 6 GJ sama ga ya bushing stabil dan lower armnya? sama setelah ganti ini apa ada noisenya dan bantingan jadi sangat kaku? karena mazda uda kaku tambah pakai ini tambah kaku banget ga? haha,,,sama apa maintenancenya kah ?
Om felix, bagaimana feel nya setelah pemakaian 2 bulan? Banyak yg bilang PU lebih berisik dibandingkan karet om, dan jadi lebih stiff lagi ya? Dimana bawaan cx5 udah agak stiff kayaknya... Hehe.. mau nyobain protoflex tapi takutnya bising ban jadi masuk ke dalam, gak keredam seperti karet biasanya
sepertinya gen 3 lebih enak dan comfortable karena uda banyak yg di improve ya. tapi kalo handling mungkin hampir sama ya karena karakter mazda memang sporty drive.
nope this car had the oem standard factory from mazda im not sure if the oem ones are made in china and it probably had been worn out due to age and usage driving to many pot holes here in Indonesia.
Yes this video shows one sections of the LCA bushings. The smaller bushing i have it replaced by another brand from Superpro. You can browse the older videos.

ya needs to re grease otherwise they will squeak. lifetime as in the life of your ownership of the carZ
you should have torqued the control arm bolts while load/weight was applied to them so that the bushings do not overtwist

perhaps check the grease ?? Mine doesnt have any noise or what so ever.
secara handling dan kenyamanan better protoflex atau ori mazda bro?
@@mazmazbiasa kalo saya lebi suka rigid yang lebih ke sporty feel gitu. Bushing Original Mazda lebih lembut di banding Bushing Protoflex.
