I have a '04 Mazda3.
I'm hearing a ticking noise coming out of what seems to be the driver's side front end when I'm driving, but I can't be sure because I'm in the car driving it. (drive) hah...But I can't figure out what it is. It's sort of an intermittent ticking sound perhaps 3-4 times per 1-2 seconds?
Another thing is the steering wheel shaking. The car is dropped on H&R sport springs from the previous owner, and I noticed when I start to hit higher speeds such as 50+ the steering wheel really starts to vibrate. Is that a problem with the aligment, and shoudl I get one to fix the vibrating?
Also, how hard is it to change out the aftermarket springs for the stock springs. I would like to save the $300 everybody will do it for and do it myself, but I've heard horror stories about it taking like 6+ hours just for the front. Is there a how-to anywhere?
Thanks.
