Hello,
I have 2 issues arise recently with my Mazda 3 auto, 2005, 140k.
1. At low speeds and reversing there is a squeaking noise coming from the front left wheel. As soon as i press the break pedal the noise stops but starts again when the break pedal is not pressed. This noise happens very frequently and gets worse when driving uphill.
The calipers and underside of the car are rusty... could this be contributing?
2. When accelerating during low RPMS around 1000-2000 there is a quiet growling/rattling sound. As soon as it reaches above 2000 rpm the noise goes and it sounds great. Only happens during accelerating. Doesn't seem like there's any power drop however the car isnt great overall at accelerating.
Any help would be appreciated. 1st car and these noises are driving me nuts!
