Noise in rear end

[MP3intheSTL]

Question my MP3 only has 12000+ miles when I drive over a speed bump, pot hole, crack in road, etc. the rear end makes a poping noise like my trunk is open, or a broke'n shock or something.

has anyone else had this problem.
going to mazda to get looked at, just checking.

do a search under the word "clunk". its a common problem. its the bushings or something else in the suspension.

I'll have to see what mazda will say. somethings wrong somethings definitly wrong.

do a search under the word "clunk"...(snip)...

And while you're at it, do a search on "grrrrreeeesssshhh" and "podda-podda-pang".

oops...i went to my dealer to have bushings replaced this March. but the clunky sound appears AGAIN recently...does it have anything to do with my SCCA solo??? Ya...something must be wrong!!! :mad:

Check around you spare tire, a friend of mine had that problem and figured that what secures the spare tire comes loose because of the vibrations from the sub. add some extra cussioning like Fome of carpet. This might help.
As for the bushings that is a normal creaking sound that you will hear mostly in the colder months.

I've checked the spare tire it's snug and the speaker to.
I have an apointment with mazda tomorrow. lets see what they have to say.
