I'm new to Mazda and this forum! What's up?
Hi Everyone!,
I traded in my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (I still love Jeeps BTW) for a 2007 Mazda Sport for the 3rd row, fuel economy and the cost. The gas mileage could be a bit better but it's double that of the Jeep which was 13-14 mpg in normal driving.
I noticed the issue about the rear negative camber that eats tires like a BMW X5 so I just installed the rear camber kit from speedyracer.com. Boom! Problem solved and there's not as much road noise. I had to do it since I slapped on a set of General Atlimax winter tires.
How have you guys dealt with stock rear negative camber issue? I guess it's common with the Mazda 3 too.

It seems some Mazda3s are affected, and some aren't; my 2009 Mazda3 just got over 48,000 miles out of a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/Ss.
