Mazda 6 MPS - Clicking Sound

[AndyMPS]

Hey all,

I've recently noticed that often when I accelerate from takeoff in my MPS, with my left window down, that I can hear a clicking sound coming from the front left hand wheel.

The sound usually comes in near the end of the clutch travel.

However I have also noticed the sound under acceleration even when gears aren't being changed.

It sounds like a solenoid switching on and off. I think it may just be a sensor or something (there looks like one in the sway bar?).

Just wondering if this is a normal sound or if there may be some trouble.


Cheers,


Andy.

Hi mate,
This from CoreMazda. Hope it helps. Even though its a differnt model Mazda6 it still might be applicable.

Cool, it doesn't look like it's a real problem or anything then. I will check into it.

Cheers Chris.

Do you get the same noise when you turn or go over any bumps mate? I have a problem with mine but just wanted to see if your symptoms are the same.

Is it your drive shafts? had a clicking sound on takeoff/reverse/hard accelaration. Told mazda on my last service and they removed cleaned, regreased drive shafts and i now no longer have the problem. pretty easy job.
