Image 1 — I’m being told by my shady Mazda dealer that this strut is 20k miles old. (I paid to have it replaced January 2025). Am I crazy to assume this is really the original 115k strut???

Do the strut labels mention manufacture date anywhere?

I had both “replaced” on a 2019 2 years ago and concerned this is an original strut…

My take is it’s a new album but early 2027 - the world needs new, angry, RA

The new songs are fitting for the times we are in (US)
Rise against has always been a siren for the counter culture and I think they know if there’s a time to write their style of music, more of it; it’s now.

Very excited.

My third album theory with the back of the shirt:

Left: the few the proud the emotional
album pointing at the banditos ‘Clancy’

Middle: the finger symbol used when he does his power thing to the bishop ‘breach’

Right: is a circular repeat of TB handing his jacket to Clancy. The 3rd album is torchbearers perspective

Not sure why I’m rubbing with 18x8 +45 wheels… tires are 215/45 R18… new bearings… maybe just my hands after checking by feel?

Why does it appear my wheel is rubbing with plenty of clearance ?

Tried the tape trick and it remains clear after 20 miles mixed highway and backroads…
(Took that tape off)

Need advice on new rims for 4th gen hatch after 3 OEMs are bent… going aftermarket with curiosity / concerns.

Looking at Enkei Raijins with stock suspension / struts.

but am curious if I should go with:
18x8 et45 (worried about clearing the strut tower, stock already looks super close?)

18x8 et45 (worried about offset wearing on bearings?)

Not super involved in how flush they are just looking for new wheels..

Can I fit 18x8 +45s on stock 4th gen hatchback (Awd)? Feeling pretty close to the struts on stock wheels and tires already…

Normal for new rim to have paint chipping and roughness near the bead area?

First time buying aftermarket rims for my Mazda - is it normal for there to be roughness in the bead area / paint chipping?

Got a slight bend in a rim - does this need to be fixed or can I let it ride for a while?

trying a different Zammy pad rotation - why is he now phasing with 1.5x (~520k) hp in p3 even after depleting grey HP (shouldn't he be starting at the 2nd line in from the right)?

Was previously doing 246154 and entering p3 with 80k less HP

This is happening even after depleting all they grey HP

A week ago I struggled to do 250% - after a week of lots of trial and even more error got the 500% solo!
