hey everyone i finally just signed up on a forum. i am in need of some help. my 07 mazda 3 is in need of new suspension. i havent had it on the hoist yet, but there is some serious knocking noises and the front end is bouncing around like a cadillac! any pointers on what kind of suspension i can get. im doing the full job all four! looking to maybe lower a little bit too if its not going to be too too expensive. please help. i love my mazda and would like to treat him with the respect he deserves. his name is sideswipe by the way

 

i guess nobody really give a darn on here. not one reply in all 65 views. maybe nobody on here really knows much

I drive a Mazda 6, don't think you'd appreciate guesses.

whatever you replace with use a reputable brand and not the OEM. I use KYB for most of my cars and havent had any problems yet with them

Agreed KYB, my wife's 2008 3 started clunking in the right front years back. Luckily still under warranty at the time. I'm thinking the low profile tires put a lot more stress on the ball joints. Be sure and check out the lower ones for sure. I like moog, but there as expensive as all get out....
