I have a clunking sound in the front, i just changed the lower control arm bushing on one side and "Stabilizer link" on both sides. But the issue is still there. It sounds like metal on metal but i can't figure out what it is making the sound, could it be an engine mount?

It happens when i turn the engine on, when im engine braking (when i go into 2nd gear from 3rd), when i reverse and still going forward and when i turn the engine off. Sometimes when accelerating from 0 but not always.

It's a Mazda CX-5 2.2D FWD 2012.

First video when i start the engine and go between moving forward and reversing.


Second video when i turn the car off.


Thanks in advance!

 

Does your steering wheel have any play?
One possibility is the intermediate steering shaft spline bolt not properly torqued (tightened).
Look under your dash for the spline and the bolt and make sure it is properly tight.
It can loosen over time.

SOLUTION:
I checked but that was not the issue. It got even worse after that, went in to the mechanic today and he tightened all the bolts in the front subframe. There was one bolt near the left wheel that could be tightened 3/4 of a turn and that was it! So if someone has a similar sound, check that and you could get away with a free fix!

 

Thanks for the info!
