hey apoc was it like this tapping or clacking sound when he turns as hes moving on the front drivers or front.

yep it started out like a clicking I guess, but ended up sounding like the front end was going to fall off... Make sure everything is torqued to spec (not over or under) and make sure the bushings are good...

yea well my s**** finally fixed but wasnt what anybody would of thought it was, becuase discount tire ended up fixing, because apprently mazda doesnt know how to use a torque wrench.

And no apoc they dropped the sway bar and drove with it off and it still made the noise.

Cool, at least it is fixed, That's why I posted to make sure things are torqued to spec... that does suck you had to wait this many days to have someone else fix it...

Usually this is a manufacturer problem.... sway bar bushings? they're known to go... upgrade it to the new 156E Bushings... mazda reissued these as a solution to the old problematic ones... although they still fail prematurely

end links?
My MPV made a popping noise when going over bumps. One of the endlinks had failed.
once replaced popping went away. ~$24 each from dealer.

yea it did suck that i had to wait that many days. No i know it wasnt that endlink because i had just replaced it with a brand new one a few days after the noise came up.
