Hi All,

Please I need your sound inputs into this issue. I drive a Mazda MPV 2004. Since I bought it early this year, I have experienced vibrations from the suspension being transferred to the car body and steering, especially in the following situations:
1. Moving on rough/uneven roads
2. Moving on expansion joints on bridges (the front column/dashboard jolts up when this happens)

The whole car vibrates when the above situations occur, even up to the rear view mirror, seats.

Also, lately, I have also experienced some grinding noise from the front tire area, some gritting sound in the steering wheel and some sound when turning the steering.

I have changed the linkages, front shocks, lower arms as advised by my mechanic in July this year, I did a wheel balancing and alignment early this year but the situation still persists.

I would like your candid and professional advice. Thanks.

You have a damaged wheel bearing and a faulty inner Constant - Velocity joint.

Consider replacing the engine mounts as well.
