MP3 has problems??

[jti1115]

What's this "Clunk" thing about?
(and what is a clunk? sry --;
I'm about to buy one..and wonderin if the car is something that has a lot of problems..^^

Its a great car. Check the search for the clunk TONS of threads about it. to generalize, its from the squeeky rear bushings on the sway bar. Mazda has never really put a proper fix to it. But there are several people around the forums with fixes that seem to be working thus far.

My clunk is a beast. I got used to it though. The tiniest dip in the road makes the rear end of the car go CLULULUNKCLUNKCLUNKLUNK . I should talk to Mazda about that.

But like I said, I'm used to it.

i can't believe that mazda fixed the msp hesitation before they figured out a fix for the clunk. i know, two separate issues, but still...how long has the clunk been around, 2 years?

I think winter was the clunk catalyst for me.. so winter of 2001.

Hey man i just keep going back to the dealer and get free oil changes and the clunk sound fixed you know since i have to go "through all that trouble" it goes away for like 5months and then comes back, yesterday they just ordered me a new rear sway bar so i guess that's good and by the way does anyone knows how to find what production number is your mp3?
