Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I have a 2007 Mazda 5 with 80+k miles. My car was stolen and joy ridden, so I had the same problem, a knock by your feet from the front. You need to replace your Macpherson struts and rear shocks. Get a good brand if you want to keep the car. Mac struts are integral to the alignment, so you need to have that done, too. If you are really going to keep the car, get a lifetime alignment deal. It costs more, but you can go back as often as you want. I also had to get a rear wheel camber kit, too. Did all the work myself. Mac struts, about 2 to3 hours each, rear shocks about 1 hour each, and the camber kit about 2 hours each.

I had this and had every part of my suspension changed and it cost me a bomb! I had a service at Mazda and they notices straight away my shock absorbers were leaking!
This cost me £100 for parts and labour and the noise has gone!

Excellent addition to this thread! Please feel free to help out whenever you are on the site :)

The knock at your feet is the sway bar bushings. I bought some "racing" bushings with zerk fittings in new brackets (the metal holders), at about $3.00 each.. the noise was eliminated permanently. I did the fix at 70k miles. Rear noise went away when I replaced solid camber arms with adjustable arms, for about $60.00 each and never had any noise again. vehicle was a gem till it was totaled in 2015 with 130k .

Good you found a fix bummer the car got totaled though, everyone okay?

October 2015, I was sole occupant and had the green light. At 45 mph I t-boned sedan that ran the red, airbag went off. I bruised sternum and ribs, and sore face, but I walked away. Went to the hospital where they found neck and brain damage. Still coping with the neck, but I am very cautious even when I have the green.

At least you are getting better, please be careful out there, many don't realize the power they have with a car, and how it can go all wrong really quick. Use 2CarPros anytime, we are here to help. Please tell a friend.
