Yep, I believe it is the calipers (?) shifting in the housing of the brakes. Something to do with shims used in the brake assembly. In order to "fix" it, they had to install new brakes, couldn't just install replacement shims. Interesting thing though, my car is starting to make the noise again...

It only happens when the brakes are applied. Otherwise, if I just drive off in the current direction no noise is heard.

Does it happen on your CX-7? Well, after a while I have two developments to report. The first is that I can now recreate the sound consistently. I'll describe it below and it would be great if some of your here wouldn't mind trying it out to see if your CX-7 does it. Start-up the car, put it...

@offset_98: Thanks for the suggestion. It could be... my struts have developed the "creaking/moaning" sound as the car takes dips and bumps in the road. Second time this has happened (within a year of previous strut replacement). However, the clank/clunk/snap noise only happens with braking...

Hey erhayes Thanks for replying. If it's the pads can they do anything about it? I'll be having my tires rotated this fall, so they'll be off and can look at the brakes. I checked the wheel lugs, they're secure. But I'll check again. Thanks!

Hi Guys From time-to-time, my 2007 GT-AWD CX-7 will make a clank/clunk noise which comes from the front-end. It happens in the following cases: 1) Car has been parked, I drive forward just a few feet (e.g. to the stop sign at the end of my street), I start to press on the brake and...

Still selling Just bumping; unit is still available. Price reduced to: $90.00 USD Paypal only, thanks.

Whoops, sorry for the extremely late reply. I neglected to put e-mail notifications on. In any case, you can use steering wheel controls or iPod.

It's not difficult to install, but you do need to pull the radio out to patch it into the back (where the satellite would normally plug into). You have to remove the silver trim around the radio/console area (that's about the most difficult part to do, just because if you're not careful you can...

FS: Neo Car Audio Adapter Ooops, meant to type "car" not "card".

Just received it last week and I find it (along with the Mazda one) a bit on the clunky side. It all works. Looks like I'll have to go with a head unit replacement... oh well. I paid $193 shipped from NeoCarAudio. Selling for $135 (USD/CDN) shipped (I will ship with tracking, UPS or Canada Post...

I've been trying to post a for sale message in the marketplace and I continue to get the following error message when I click on "Submit New Thread" Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in...

I've now had the vehicle for a week with the new front sway bar bushings and... The clunking is reduced but not totally gone. Without testing a minty-new CX7 I can't say whether the noises I hear now are just the norm or not. @jmhumr The scrunching noise going over speed bumps at low speed...

Hey Guys Turns out, hopefully, that the klunking I'm hearing when braking is from the front sway bar bushings. The 7 is going in tomorrow to have them replaced. The car has also be clunking when turning (at low speeds) and going over speed bumps at low speeds. Hopefully they do the trick...

Hi Guys Thanks for the input. I did take it to the dealership late last week for an oil change and mentioned it. Apparently, a number of bolts were loose on the latch, striker plate, and hinges. It still creaked somewhat afterwards, but I lubed the hingers, latch and strikers and it seems...

Yep, our CX-7 clunks a lot. Turning, braking, and now the front passenger door has developed its own sound. It sounds like something is binding/rubbing. Not quite metal on metal, but metal against plastic. It happens when we accelerate from a stop, but once we're moving we can give her gas all...

Just a follow-up. Our CX-7 continues to make clunking noises when turning (most noticeable at low speed, 10-30 km/h). During the cold weather it was a more pronounced grinding/repeated clacking noise. I've taken it in to the dealer today to have it looked at again. It's not nearly as bad...

Hi All Anyone here with the Neo ProLink PODMAZ-R2V1 have a PDF copy of the manual or could tell me... How switching iPod playback modes (artist, album, playlist,...) works? I have the Mazda iPod adapter and I don't like how the Disc buttons are overloaded for switching iPod playback modes and...

Thanks for all the feedback and links guys. Since others are hearing similar noise under similar conditions then I'm satisfied that it is the 'norm' for our CX-7s. Next service I'll mention it to the service department and see if they'll do anything under warranty about it. It's an...
