  • Lowest Profile Rhino Rack Roof Rack with Integrated Locks for 2011 Mazda 3
  • The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars consisting of the crossbars and feet # RR54GR do have integrated locks to deter theft. The locks secure the crossbars to the roof and secure the channel-mounted carriers to the crossbars. The Aero-type crossbars are the lowest profile roof rack for your 2011 Mazda 3 as each crossbar is only 1-1/16" tall which will cut down on wind noise from this rack. I attached help articles on roof mounted cargo carriers, watersport carriers and ski carriers you...

  • Does Curt 56016 T-Connector Have Capacity to Run Multiple LED Lights
  • Given the fact that LED lamps draw only a fraction of the power that a comparable incandescent bulb does, adding 2 extra fixtures should not present a problem in the least, especially since you're replacing all the incandescent with LED lamps. This will seriously decrease the amperage draw and allow some extra capacity for adding the lamps you mentioned. The # 56016 T-Connector wiring harness you mentioned has plenty of capacity at 3 amps per circuit for Stop/turn lights and 6 amps per...

  • Will Exhaust Heat Cause Issues With Hitch Bike Rack Installed On 2011 Mazda CX-7

  • How To Tell If Lights On 2015 Mazda 3 Are LED Or Incandescent
  • You can find out if you have LEDs a couple of ways. The easiest is to remove the lens of the lights and if it has a bulb it is incandescent. If it has diodes then it is LED. Another way is to turn the lights on and then watch as you turn them off. If the light go off abruptly, they are probably LED. If the filament takes a moment to go out then it is probably a bulb. The third way is to contact your dealer with the VIN and they will be able to tell you what lights are on your Mazda 3.

  • Is An Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin Included With A Trailer Hitch
  • It seems that the person you spoke with is confused. A stabilization strap and an anti-rattle bolt do not serve the same purpose. A stabilization strap helps support the non-trailer load on the hitch, while an anti-rattle bolt helps to eliminate the rattle or wobble of the shank in the trailer hitch. Per Curt's warranty, the # 18050 stabilization straps need to be used with all non-trailer loads. I spoke with my contact in Curt's technical department who confirmed that the stabilization...

  • How to Identify the Axle Manufacturer on a 1991 International 18 Foot Trailer
  • To determine the manufacturer of your axle you will need to look on the axle itself to see if there is a plate or sticker that would indicate the manufacturer or a part number. The other way is to contact the International dealer and give them the vehicle identification number (VIN) number of the trailer to see if they can determine the brand of axle you would have.
