Hi all, its been a while since my last so hope everyones ok.

My car seems to have developed a strange clicking noise when i turn left!

Its quite a high pitched click that is constant-ish and comes from the front drivers side, i know it's not the cv joint, they've both been recently replaced and its a different noise, car just sailed its mot too, don't think its a wheel bearing as there doesn't seem to be any play in the wheel when yanked about, the mot guy said there was a bit of play in the steering but not much.

Any ideas, its got to the point where i might even try recording it, its annoying me that much.

On a different note, craig, do you still want a 3d logo, sorry havn't got round to it but been v.busy for past couple of months.

I've fixed the ratling underneat my car (the heat protectors) but I still have a really weird sound on the right side (passenger) .. impossible to figure it out, as the noises only comes when I drive a little fast .. don't like it.

I also have this strange clicking when I turn left!!!

and it gets faster when you speed up? almost like somethings catching on the wheel. It sounds like the drivers side.

I can only hear when I drive with the window open but it's driving me nuts as well and I've been under my car a hundered times!! and it still beats me!!!

You are not alone but we need to figure it out!!

D.

I think I know what it is..a common problem with mazda's,, Well it took me a while to translate it into english but it's probably this: constant velocity joint.. Solve it quick if it is this problem otherwise things could result in a lot more damage

En wat betekent dat in het Nederlands???

Ja en wie mag jij dan wel wezen??? :twisted:

Huh? guest? dat was ikzelf: Daniel

weird...

Dan is het goed........hey kijk ff op foto's!!!

these clicking noises (tinny, like metal being pinged) may well be related to corrosion on the other edges of the brake disc`s catching on the pad return spring which sit`s accross the disc in the caliper. removing the offending whell and rotating the disc (while jacked up of course) may well show the offending piece of rust as it `pings` past the spring, simply clean up the offending area and re-assemble.

may also be offending rust on the disc catching teh disc backing plate , same procedure as above is required.

but the mazda 323`s ARE reknowned for cv joints failing, more so the older pop up headlight model.

i know my own 323 used to click heavily when on full lock, but not all the time , only once every couple of days. not much point in doing much about until the fault develops so much so that the offending part can be identified .
