Hello Scotty,
So I have a Mazda protege 2001 1.6 L, and have been having a bit of issues when I brake. When I brake, it makes this cracking noise. Likewise, when I am parked, and turn my wheel to the left, it does the same noise. However, it also does the same noise when I pass speed bumps, and pot holes. What could be the part that is damage? I already changed the sway bar links, and fixed the sway bar right arm barrel. The noise seems to be from the front. Likewise, I purchase two new wheels for the front as well. Just a detail that I wanted to mention as well.
Thank you!
