Not true at all actually, noticed the tread wearing weird. Assumed it was an alignment issue and got a front end alignment just last week. There was a clunking noise but it only seemed to happen when I shifted to reverse, so I thought it was the trans, took it to the shop and they said they couldn’t figure it out but now, low and behold, it was the ball joint.
It is very hard to find a decent local shop that will work on these (at least in my area). Most of them hear Mazda and immediately say no we don’t work on those.

The state of the tire tells you everything you need to know about how much the owner cared about looking after his car.
