M3 Front Suspension noise
 
Anybody has experience in Mazda 3 front suspension noise over the small humps & bumps,even in small road variations?. Have you heard any remedy for this?

Do you have lowering springs or stock?

I am having stock springs. Any clue about the mount rubber of the upper part of the strut/suspension system?.

I'm not sure. I have lowering springs but also have a noise. I have looked over everything and the only thing that made a similar noise was the exhaust when moved side to side.

I have read more articles on the web regarding this and found that the cause of this front suspension noise over the bumps and road irregularities is the Mount Rubber in the upper parts of the front suspension. (upper portion of the strut arrangement but separate from the strut).
There was a TSB(Technical Service Bulletin ) to correct this from Mazda North America.
Please check and try as you may have same problem.

The problem I mentioned is not a Exhaust related. It is a mild dug-dug-dug sound over the bumps(even small bumps).
