Needed a little help with the issues. I noticed a rattle from the front end over rough terrain on the driver's side. I jacked the car up suspecting control arm or ball joint issues. Sure enough there is a little play in the wheel. However the movement I can see is on the steering rack shaft but the tie rod end is tight and doesn't move. I can see the shaft move back and forward causing the rattle. Has anyone had this issue with their Mazda? I am 100% sure this is the culprit. I checked all the usual suspects.
