Guys,
HAs anyone experienced a rattling sounds when you make turns.
Also the sounds only comes when there is a bump on the round and you are taking the turn at 50-80 m/hr. It's very annoying
I have a 2.3s manual.
Thanks

You might want to check the coilovers.

I've experienced them as well. They used to come from my doors. I've fixed them but now I can hear some more coming from the dashboard and the glovebox... Oh well, I guess I'll try to fix those soon too.
PS: At first, my car would only rattle in the scenario you described. But now, any little bump on the road and it'll rattle :(

I get it too on my car, the service department couldnt find anything wrong with my car. I only get it on bumps while making right hand turns from the left front side of the vehicle. it sounds a lot like something dropping on something else, and the steering wheel shakes sometimes.

Exactly, Right hand turns and sounds from Left side from around the wheel.
Well ES2K3 suggested it could be coilovers. What does that mean? I am going to ask the service folks.
Whenever I see them with an unusal issues they can never handle it.
Suck!!
Thank though.

Well this has been my expereince.
I had a lot of sounds from the rear of my car. What I didnt realize was the I had a lot of shit in the turnk...golf set, tennis racket, football and other stuff.
I cleared my trunk to test the sounds. All gone. But the rattle in the front remained.
Just an FYI.
Thanks

Thanks Man,
What are coilover. I think these service people are very shady. If you talk these technical terms to them they will know that we know our shit also.
Thanks again.

They're shocks.
But I'm pretty sure the noise is coming from the interior.

Coilovers are spring/shock assemblies that are adjustable for damping, preload and ride height.
The Mazda3 doesn't have coilovers.
It has MacPherson struts in the front and shocks and springs in the back.
Can't help you with your noise, though. (dunno)
