Mazda 3 GT sport 2008
Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum. I have a technical question I am hoping to hear your thoughts on what could be the issue.

My mazda 3 GT 2008 dips down (drops down on an angle / settles down ) 1/2 inch on the front wheel driver side when I make full stop. When I move it goes back normal. I could feel the car dropping down every time I am making a stop. I am not sure if it's a wheel bearing issue but it is weird and it's starting to concern me.

Any thought what might the cause of this be ?

Can you see/feel a difference when you push down on the left and then right fender? If your driver's side front shock is severely worn out, it is possible that what you describe can happen. Do you know how many miles are on your shocks?
 
Not very likely a wheel bearing. Most likely the shock/strut is bad. And sounds like one side is much worse than the other. If so, you will need to have both changed.
