2007 M3 wear on tires and popping noise going over bumps
 
ive got a few problems.

#1 my tires on the front of the car see a lot of wear and tear on the inside. ive been told to rotate my tires every 5000 miles but the wear on the tires is still present. the rear tires are fine until i rotate them again to the front. maybe this is due to the toe adjustment? i heard that some fwd cars wheel adjustments cant be modified unless a weild is broken and then adjusted.

#2 whenever i go over bumps at any speed i hear a clunk or popping noise from the front right wheel area. i thought this may be from the cv shafts or boots or maybe even the struts. i tighten all lug nuts to spec. torque whenever i do maintnence.

any help would certainly be awesome

look around at other posts, both issues are discussed many places. No need to start posting in multiple places.

the alignment is an issue on many of the 3's - and i've heard complaints on other mazdas too (CX7).
The clunk is likely a bad motor mount - the one mounted near the right wheel on the top of the engine - there's a recall through 2006 models.
