knocking noise

[harrison888]

Does anyone is experiencing some knocking noise from the rear while the car is moving?? I would think it is from the swaybar link or something. If you've had this problem b4, did you fix it? and how did you do it?

I heard that for like a week but i haven't heard it since i have no clue what it was or what stopped it but im grad it doesn't make that noice anymore.

that noise is usually the upper trailing link in the rear.it only depends on which side its on.the little tie rod end on it wears out.pops over bumps.

harrison888, have you managed to resolve the knocking noise. I have a Mazda3 Hatch that appears to making a similar noise when going over uneven road surface. The dealership has looked at my car on 3 separate occasions but have yet to resolve my problem. The noise is driving me nuts

god please someone make it stop ! My 3 has what sounds like the same problem, even worse I am in Australia which means our mazda dealers are way to lazy to even try and find the fault - or course if the stereo was decent in these cars you might not hear it but ... ..alas

I've found a post from another Mazda forum, somebodies are having the same problem and it's probably coming from the hatch strut, for detail please read here.... http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56240
