Some Mazda 5 owners report experiencing suspension noise issues in both the front and rear components, prompting them to consider swing bar bushing replacement for a quieter ride. Many emphasize the importance of accurately identifying the source of the noise before making any replacements, as misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary repairs. Additionally, thorough inspections of various suspension components, such as control arms and tie-rods, are recommended to ensure all parts are in good condition. Some owners note that if their rear sway bars are stiffer than OEM, adjusting the suspension setup may enhance stability during cornering. Furthermore, they suggest exploring other potential causes, such as upper strut mounts, before proceeding with specific replacements. Consulting a qualified mechanic is also advised to gain valuable insights into effectively addressing these suspension noise issues.
