Hello everybody,
I recently got a used 2011 Mazda 2
This noise has been around for a while apparently the previous owner took it to 2 mechanics and one replaced the shocks.
I recorded the noise, I know i couldn't get any good angles its not an easy car to get under. The noise only happens when someone is sitting in the car and rocking. I moved the car so we could record under the wheel hub better but i was no longer able to make the noise.
It happens randomly as I'm driving there is nothing in particular that causes it. Soon as i think its something it happens at another time that would rule that out. eg like the brakes..
The noise is recorded below.
I believe its the ball joint as its totally done for.
I just want to check has anyone else heard a noise like this and if so was it the ball joint or is there something I'm missing?
Ball joint photo below. I'm going to replace the whole control arm.
THANKS!
