  • Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35E-8 Availability in Dacromet
  • We have a dacromet version of the part # K2HR35E-8 that you referenced. For that you would want the part # K2HR35D-8. This kit comes with inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649 plus has a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches. You will need to verify that with what you currently have to make sure this kit would be compatible. Dacromet resists corrosion much more than paint or E-coat.

  • Class I Hitch for 2017 Mazda 3 Sedan for Transporting Bikes

This is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch that can handle the weight of up to 2 bikes, but not more than 2. A hitch-mount bike rack is the best way to protect your new car's paint finish. In this hitch you will need to use a Class I-compatible 2-bike rack like one of those shown on the linked page. A great option for a platform-style rack is the Swagman XTC-2 # S64670...

  • Availability Of A Trailer Hitch For A 2008 Mazda 3
  • The # e63AR hitch that google showed you is not for a 2008 Mazda 3. That hitch is for a 2011-current Mitsubishi RVR or Outlander Sport. We carry only one hitch for the 2008 Mazda 3 with the Draw-Tite Class 1 Hitch # 24816. This has the smaller 1-1/4" receiver opening. I am sorry to say that there is no 2 inch receiver available for a 2008 Mazda 3.
