I personally would of replaced the pillowball bearing. Yours are worn. They shouldnt move that easily when they "swivel"

Thanks for the vid and nice ride! Drove a buddy's MSP a few times and loved it.

[@NoahGaebel]

That’s awesome, I really wanna drive a real MSP and see if there is a difference.

[@Submerged244]

[@NoahGaebel]

Yeah I use the improper words all the time, glad you’re looking out. Glad you like the build, means a lot!

What did you use to grease them up again?

[@NoahGaebel]

Might’ve just been marine grease. Don’t remember unfortunately

How much was the replacement parts?

[@NoahGaebel]

Was $180 to rebuild the front coil and $120 to rebuild the rear one in my other video.

Will 17 inch wheels fit 2002 Mazda Protege 5? what wheel size got yours? Thanks.... Helpful videos!

[@NoahGaebel]

I’ve got 17x8+35 wheels. That’s about as big as you can get before you run into problems. Some 18s fit but you’ll need a much narrower wheel

[@otarsulava]

@@NoahGaebel 17x7.5 offset+45 - Do you think this will not start rubbing the fender? Much appreciate you responder already! I watch you changing manual transmission fluid, did the same on mine, very helpful!... I put all tubs ups!

[@NoahGaebel]

That should be similar fitment to mine. I had some slight rubbing when I was on stock height but with Coilovers and a little camber no problem at all. I would recommend rolling the fender to avoid it cutting
