The other night I had a very unnerving exp. Granted I have a AWR sway bar and I am used to the occasional rear susp. noise although i am always workin on it. However last night i heard a clunk/scrapping metallic sound comin from my front left wheel(driver). This was after i went up a small incline into a parking lot. Same thing happened 2 more times in very similar situations. I though s***...i broke a sway bar strut mount...but in checking it so far they look ok...i will look closer later today. Also It hasnt happened again so far today. It also doesnt happen while driving normally or on bumps...only when ..and not all the time so far..i pull into a inclined parking lot. It sounds really bad like I have a metal box dragging underneath the car. I have alreayd scheduled a appt with mazda fro sat. but any ideas are helpful. one thing is i used to hear a clicking noise from the drivers side front when slowing braking...is this a CV joint...strut assembly...any help please.....
 
The sound hasnt resurfaced but i am thinking that the damage is done. the sway bar is fine and the tabs arent even bent. The dealer will look at it but it could be a variety of things...strut assembly...tie-rod..etc...all arent good and my warranty si long gone...wish me luck people
