I think the problem with most people now is they are "know-it-alls", they call the dealer pretending to know everything and wonder why they get the wrong parts, I think it gets done on purpose.
I call and leave it in thier hands, I never get the wrong parts and never have to correct them. I have all my info in hand and when I call them I just compare what they tell me to what I have written down- always matches. Its much easier to call them and have my parts the next day or in 2 days the latest. |

I will say to stay away from Mazdatrix's aftermarket control arms unless you put your own tack welds on the ball joint. When it comes loose it makes the steering real funky. |
I went to a dealer with a parts catalogue and nearly all of the stuff I couldn't get. I could get new doors though... at about $1500 a piece from memory. The drivers door cost more. ~$2000
I did get a rear hatch piece, so I can take out the rusted back and weld in a new one. |

Last time I tried to get parts from a dealer they said they couldn't get anything for "those old cars". I bought some door handles and other miscellaneous stuff from Victoria British and didn't have any trouble. I've also bought Mazda parts from Mazdatrix and didn't have any trouble. yeah for some reason some dealers dont want to sell stuff. mazdatrix buys from a dealer..... |
its not like mazdatrix or victoria british are making thier own parts and putting the mazda stamp on them.
