My 2013-16 Mazda CX-5 Front End Clunk and Rattle Noise Solved (update in description)

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞:
The item found in this video 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 completely solve my clunking noise. After driving the vehicle for a while, I came to realize that there's a clunk that is still present. However, the clunks are a bit more quiet this time around and so I do feel that some of the noises were coming from the part that I have removed in this video.
But the issue was a worn driver's side sway bar link. I pulled the link off today and checked both ends and sure enough one end felt dry and worn while the other end was still smooth. I was able to spray some oil in there and threw the link back on. Went for a drive and the clunk went away. So I will be ordering new replacement end links for both sides, right and left.

Thank you for this video! What is the name of the part you removed and isn't it essential to running your vehicle? I never think it's a good idea to remove something just because it's noisy, lol. Also, you said, "Can you see where this part goes"? And the answer was no, I could not see, lol. I just saw a space, but not where it attaches. Thanks again and I'll check out the rest of your videos!

FYI, the roads are like that EVERYWHERE. I live in VB, VA and it's the same (if not worse)! 😂

You shouldn't be putting grease or oil on any rubber (i.e. the control arm bushings), thats just going to cause it to deteriorate.

What is that part called?

[@mikeli77]

Why not put some silicone or other type of sealant around the part in your air box so it doesn't move as easily

[@ShyLeonheart]

Air intake resonator.

Oiling rubber is not a good idea.
