Alberta is the one north of Montana. CT isn't any closer than MD

 

Well, a man who hasn't been laid in....never....should see this as an oportune moment. Your ***** is calling to you. Pick up da phone!!!!

 

LOL and you know this, how? You letting a certain someone give quotes for you, especially old school ones since they have no creativity to think outside the box for a better comeback?

But it's still too damn far.

 

RINGALING!!!

It won't overheat...the running fan is taking care of that.

On the clunk...it might be one of these:

depending on whether "clunking" can be interpreted as "unusual" or "snapping."

On checking the lug nuts. Unless you're a working mechanic and have a calibrated arm, you really need a torque wrench. An inexpensive one will do for lug nuts. And you don't need to be as strong as some of the other guys in this thread think they are.

If it shakes the car (alot of power...) could that really be the brakes? Ive never had my brakes down far enough to tell (obsession with testing different brake pads) but that sounds EXACTLY like my car did when I blew one of the struts and would hit bumps at slow speeds. Really has nothing to do with turning though besides putting extra stress on the opp strut...

If it dosent turn out to be the brakes get that looked at (after Ken-x8's spot on suggestions), and if it started VERY receantly; turn the wheel all the way to one side and look midway up the strut (inside the spring) and see if there is any oil on it or any of the lower suspension parts... If its that you will know, there will be a decent amount in the forms of drops on everything.

 

i very much appreciate the honeymooners reference BANG ZOOM!

 

Does it only do it Once when you slowly take off?....could be the Normal ABS Check, that is a thud, clunk.

 

It's a moose, that's a sound that a moose makes and this makes sense since you're from Moose Country.

How many miles are on your car? It might be your wheel hub bearings.

 

check date u NOOB !

 

Oh shnapz!

 

You said "Oh Shnapz!"

 

Not anymore....

 

Upon reading the title of this thread, I had the feeling that scores of guys would jump in with help for this "girly", ultimately resulting in some kind of sex joke/remark that would scare her off. Humans...... so predictable.

 

Most likely your swaybar endlinks are either loose or broken. Your Mazda dealer should be able to diagnose and fix this for 1/2 hour of labor. If for some reason your endlinks are broken it's about $30 each for a replacement part. this same noise happened to me when I replaced my swaybars and I had to re-torque them.

As far as flooding in the cold: you just can't shut it off until it's fully warmed up. You don't need to restart it to keep it warm. Just don't shut it off cold.

you may be the victim of some misinformation is all. Do some research on flooding on here and you'll quickly find out how it happens and how to avoid it.

 

Check the lug nuts quickly....

 

Check the post/thread date quickly....
