suspension rattling

[Gary M]

Hi,
My 2012 with 140K, purchased used runs great. But the car rattles like a bag filled with bones over rough surfaces. I suspect shock tower mounts or swaybar mounts. Any suggestions... thanks.

Could be as simple as needing suspension lube to those areas.

I have been using Krown rust proofing every year since 2013 and i know flooding the undercarriage with this oily product has helped keep everything lubed.

Otherwise... Having Jimmy at Performance Auto have a look and test drive for his opinion

Could be an end link. I know when one of mine broke it sounded similar to what you describe.

Hopefully thats what it is cause they're cheap to fix.

Alright, we will start checking the end links when we take a look at the 2014 Mazda 3. It will be my friend's next project after we finish installing the brake kit and gear wheels (https://4wheelonline.com/Gear-Off-Road-Wheels.298383) on the truck to be delivered whis weekend. The current owner of the 3 mentioned the intermittent rattling noise he hears at the passenger side.
