BL Mazda 3 (2009 to 2013): Replace the rear sway bar link rods.

BL Mazda 3 (2009 to 2013): Replace the rear sway bar link rods.
This is an easy job. If you are a newbie home mechanic, then I encourage you to do this job yourself. You really can do it. My favourite days of my childhood were doing mechanical work with my dad, and it's a job like this that would make a fantastic first off job. Have the faith. Do it yourself. You do not need to pay a mechanic for this one.
Tools: Penetrant (eg WD-40) , 14mm long-throw spanner, 14mm ratchet spanner, 5mm Allen key. If you are going to re-use old link rods, then please tidy up the threads with an M10 x 1.25 die.
Cameraman: Egon from Estonia.
The Dude: Paul from Perth.

Miami, FL,USA 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 i think i have two maracas in my rear suspension, now i know how to get rid of them, thankkksss a lot.

[@PaulinPerth]

Yep. It's a really easy job to do yourself too. Go for it. Paul.

[@vareast]

Might try this on my Mazda Axela once the typhoon has passed through Japan. Good demo, mate.

[@adriananghel5444]

I have a Mazda 3 2010 here in UK and your video helped me a lot. I would change them myself. Thank you

[@PaulinPerth]

Yep. Back yourself for the win. Paul.

[@toneconsultant]

Very cool. I just got a Mazda 3 2016 and I think it would benefit from this type of part change. I'm off to order the parts!!!

[@antoniocano8089]

I am from Mexico City and I own a 2010 Mazda 3 sedan that needs the rear swat bar links change. Thanks for your very helpful video !

[@johnwentz8062]

Many thanks for this encouraging video. Ready to replace sway bar links on my 3 sedan.

[@taitehaimonataite9635]

Most clearest description cheers mate

[@PaulinPerth]

You are welcome. Paul.

[@fraserkirk1069]

loved the video, I can do this job on my dad's car it's a 2013 mazda 3, I'm watching from Scotland :)

[@zesty.bubbles]

Actually 26 while watching this lol, cheers for the video bud getting this done today 👍🏻

[@GKC_]

I guess I'll start :D Thanks for your 3 BL tutorials. It's much easier to tell what's what and where in the car thanks to them. I have also watched other videos and that has motivated me to look for the source of that ratatatata sound when I switch the air circulation mode. Greetings from Poland!

[@PaulinPerth]

Heeeyyyyy!!!! Dzien dobry Gabriel! I often have Polish and Czech people stay at my house. There is a Polish girl here now actually. I've also been to Poland. I love your country! With this ratatatata sound, is it cyclical? I'm wondering if it is something to do with the blower motor hitting something when you select recirculate mode. Paul in Perth, Australia.

[@jerrydedomenico1761]

Hi Paul I am from Canada and I am doing this to a Mazda 5 GT Year 2009 it uses the same sway bar and end links. I have to also change the sway bar bushings.

[@sylvainlemire1960]

Nice video , you pin point by point very well , thanks a lot , Sylvain from Bécancour Province of Québec Canada . 😀

[@radman2097]

Thanks I will try the job myself now I know it's not too difficult im from UK

[@filipstar3167]

Thanks this your video helping a lot 🇽🇰

[@mikes78]

I had a fair idea what was involved, but checked this and a couple of other videos out ( on this and lower control arms) before taking the plunge this morning. Each linkage took around twenty minutes to remove. It would have been half that if I had a 14mm ratcheting spanner, but it was unfortunately the only size I was missing. Thanks for the info. And incidentally I'm also Australian, so no far flung appreciation today sorry.

[@BrianBradley0604]

Amazing explain! I’m in the USA.

[@ghazanfarjavaid4159]

Good Jobs,come in Saudi Arabia Jeddah ,I have Mazda 3 ...

[@bruschettabanzai2772]

I’m in Maine USA. Thanks! Any torque required for these nuts?

[@PaulinPerth]

I'm sure Mazda has an official torque specification. I just did them up tight.

[@evangatehouse5650]

I always thought stacking a car on bricks or cinder blocks was not a great idea. They can crack and you get a bit thinner
