front squeak

[Kooldino]

Now that it's cold I've noticed my front shocks squeaking...anyone else?

Yeah...it's the front sway bar bushings....just like the back ones, the fronts like to squeak a little until the engine bay gets warm.

My MP3 goes in the shop next week for new front bushings and wheels. VERRRRRRYYY SSSQQQQUUUUEEEEAAAKKKYYY. I cant handle it.

I have had the same problem since the beginning...I am also in process of writting a letter to El President oF Mazda Canada...

Like everyone else, I am not pleased at the service and the quality of my baby MP3...she deserve better than that..she deserve the best...

you want squeeks in the cold....try living in winnipeg canada where its -25.....poor suspension, but it does go away after the engine heats up

I know how u feel..we have bad weathers here as well...I am surprised my ears haven't fallen out yet...

 

[Kooldino]

Maybe we can use the "piece of plastic fix" that someone came up with for our back ones???

 

[Cameleon3]

To tell you the truth...about 7 months ago, Mazda cut a hose wrapped it around the bushings and put clamps around it...it actually isolated the clunking and squeaking...I haven't heard any noise yet...but honestly, I don't see that as a solution..maybe a quick fix but not a solution...

i noticed that my front left (when sitting in the car) shock or something was squeeking like hell going over bumps tonight. kinda sucks, just got the rear fixed and now the front is acting up.

I just had my rear dampers, and bushings changed this week under warranty. No more noise coming from the back anymore... now the front suspension seems to have taken over the squeeeeeeeking job.
I'm bringing my baby in next week to get the front fixed.
