I have a loud rattle coming from the rear of my 2005 Mazda 3 when going over bumps (anything bigger than smooth new road). It sounds like metal on metal rattle.
I've had 3 different people look at it and they all say different things. Mazda says replace the endlinks for $1000 because its worn bushings, other garage says bushings are fine and they dont know what it is.
What's strange is that if i apply the brakes, even just a little bit, the rattling doesnt happen at all, which leads me to believe its not the endlinks.
Anyone have any experience with this issue? It's really annoying/embarrassing...
any help would be really appreciated.
