Hello everyone. I am new. I hate for this to be my first post as I really like the 2018 Mazda3 it is really quite a lot of bang for the buck. I have been hearing a creaking when turning the wheel at a dead stop. Upon further inspection (getting out and with the car on the ground pushing and pulling at 3 and 9 and then at 12) I found creaking and clunking. The drivers side does this, the passenger does not. The funny thing is the car performed quietly and perfectly on the road, even with spirited driving on the back roads.

This link has a small 9 second video of me pushing and pulling at 3 and 9. The phone is craddled between my knees so you cannot see my hands, but the sound was captured perfectly. I did not record the 12 oclock push and pull, but it is a suction cup sounding clunking.

Can someone go yank on their front drivers side wheel and tell me if it is normal? Wheel has to be in the neutral straight position.

Thanks!
