Mine happens, when i break, go over bumps, and between shifts. I have tightend that nut that holds the shock it can't go any further. I don't know what else to do, cause it only happens when the car is hot.

Could be a toe link too. Jack each corner one at a time and grab the wheel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock try to twist it back and forth. There should be no movement. I think the best bet is just to do all the bushings at once. Our cars are getting old and ther bushings wear.

I hear that a lot... I guess it's something close to the exhaust that gets loose when hot? I dunno...

The problem is the rear bushings I had a shop replace mine and the clunk stop. they did it for free for me and they put used ones on. Now I need to do them again. Is that link that shows how to do this for the front end or the rear end? The bushings are like $40 a piece I think. Anymore advice anyone?

most likely the problem is the pillow ***** for the rear. there are 6 total, and they go for like 42 dollars and some change each at Malloy Mazda. A local mazda dealership will charge over 60 dollars each.
