welp, today was a rough day, went to Ajax Mazda (I officially dislike them now) to check out my bumper bellow on the left side driver rear.

now here's the funny part, they told me nothing was wrong and it was fine and the rust was "rustproofing spray" , I honestly wanted to laugh but I just accepted it and left..

I'm pretty sure I'll have to replace the whole shock or would I be able to replace the bellow alone.

Either way i'll be calling head office letting them know their HEAD tech & HEAD service manager @ Ajax mazda told me nothing was wrong and it was perfectly fine.

Just wanted to share with you guys =D

Yeah now I can see the full photo, it's just the bumpstop which is degrading a bit. I can't remember if Mazda sells it by itself, or if you have to buy the top shock mount as well (seems I remember that being posted recently). Either way, it's not going to be very detrimental to your handling or shocks at the moment.

Unless YOU want to spend $200+.... Nothing is wrong.
