Problems with the 8...

Hello!
Recently my RX-8 has been making weird sounds when I turn, its hard to explain but it sounds like somethings about to fall off or somethings too heavy (even though I have nothing in the car besides myself) and the cars like about to break or something. I dont know its really hard to explain and I dont own a Camcorder to record it but its usually when I turn...I dont know its like an old boat and you hear that CREAKKKKkkkkkk. By chance anyone know what the problem is?
I took it to the Mazda Dealers to check out my Radio ECU screen thing because it was going crazy and it looked like the matrix but they couldn't reproduce the problem.

I am probably going to take it back to the dealers but I just wanted to know if anyone else came across a similar problem. Its annoying and scary >_<

Might be your right or left axle. Search that online (not this forum) and you can read a ton on axles. See if the write-ups match your symptoms.

There might be a TSB on noise from the wheels, I can't remember off the top of my head.

^My car did that exact thing...I only found the TSB after I let my nitwit dealer have a go at diagnosing it. I know I'm not a trained professional, but wouldn't TSB's be the first thing you check when a strange problem comes through your door?

Annnnnnnnyhow I installed new front rotors (which I needed anyway) and that cured the problem. My car still creaks around corners like an arthritic *****, but I think it is the seats.
