THE FRONT SUSPENSION MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE OCCASIONALLY WHEN MOVING RIGHT AFTER STARTUP AND SOMETIMES AFTER STARTING FROM A STOP (USUALLY ONLY NEAR THE START OF A DRIVE). IT ALSO OCCASSIONALLY MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN HITTING A POTHOLE/SPEED BUMP. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME THING AS RECORDED IN THE MAZDA SERVICE BULLETIN 02-010/16 AND SUGGEST POSSIBLY MAKING IT A RECALL INSTEAD OF A SERVICE BULLETIN.

WHEN TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE AND I CAN FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN STRAIGHTENING OUT THE WHEEL. THE NOISE COULD ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS A KNOCKING THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, WHILE NOT IN MOTION, OR VERY SLOW MOTION, AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS ISSUE TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR LONGER THAN 8 HOURS. IT IS MOST COMMONLY FELT WHEN BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. I'LL BACK OUT AND TURN MY WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND FEEL OR HEAR A SLIGHT CLUNK, THEN AFTER I SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND START MOVING FORWARD WHILE STRAITENING OUT MY WHEEL, I ALMOST ALWAYS FEEL AND HEAR A CLUNK OR CLUNK-KNOCK WHILE PUTTING THE WHEEL STRAIGHT. AFTER THIS INITIAL TIME, I DO NOT FEEL IT AGAIN...

TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE DRIVER MIS-JUDGED THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE RIGHT-MOST LANE AND STRUCK THE CURB. THE BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM ITS HOUSING IN THE RIGHT, LOWER CONTROL ARM, CAUSING THE BOTTOM OF THE WHEEL TO COLLAPSE INWARD AND THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND IMPACT THE CAR IN THE LEFT LANE. THE BALL AND STUD WERE STILL ATTACHED TO THE UPRIGHT CLAMP, BUT THE BALL JOINT HOUSING WAS MISSING AND NOT RECOVERED. THE TIE ROD, TIE ROD END AND THE STRUT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE DAMAGED. IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS (2009-2013), THE LOWER CONTROL ARM APPEARS TO BE A SINGLE, SOLID, FORGED STEEL PIECE WITH AN INTEGRATED BALL JOINT, A DESIGN FOR WHICH A SIDE FORCE IS UNLIKELY TO SEPARATE THE BALL FROM THE CONTROL ARM WITHOUT SHEARING THE BALL STUD. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IN THE 2014 MODEL YEAR...
