maybe youd have better luck going to a mazda forum? my suegstion is just to open the hood and move everything to see whats loose, you could try spraying soem anit squel on the belts -

try rattling your hood with your hands, to see if the hood latch is loose.Comment

I have to say it.... We do honda here baby not mazda..... But you could try start'n your car, lift the hood and start to put hands on stuff.... Just make sure all of your caps and things are on snugg....Originally posted by stang_lover_grl
if you can shake it with your hand that may be the issue.... Good luck

I would probably give your heat shields for your exhaust a check. That might help. This is a honda forum but oh well people ask questions about other cars at times. This really should be in other automotive but the post count is understandable.

Have someone who knows a bit more about cars and have them stand nearby and listen when you go over bumps (parking lots is a good place to start). You need to be a lot more specific.Comment

serious? you find this site of all sites, with this being honda exclusive, and you ask mazda questions? I bet your problem is a bushing.Comment
