Greetings,
My question is in regards to my daughter's '06 Mazda 3i/auto
One of the front struts(pass side) was a bit loose and causing a bit of clunking when putting the gear selector into DRIVE and taking off. I thought it was possibly a motor mount but, it was the strut bolt on top(under the hood)
I tightened the Strut hold down bolt while also holding the center thread of the strut top with a 6mm allen wrench(where is shows through the mount).
My question is, will tightening the strut hold down bolt alone, (to the torque specified), change the alignment at all?... to possibly be out of spec?
The clunking is now gone and I'm happy!
Thanks,
CB
