Finally got to the root of the problem. Had to take it to the dealer. The ABS rings on the axle shafts are broken on the right AND left sides. I took the truck elsewhere and had them rebuilt. My regular and extended warranty are up. Extended warranty is past time only.. the truck only has 83,000 km. on it. My mechanic said I shouldn't see that kind of thing until at least 150,000 km. I asked the dealership if there was any kind of a "good will" warranty and they said no. Its quite ridiculous for the BOTH to go that early, at the same time, and it not be covered by Mazda. I'm going to write a letter to Mazda but I don't have by hopes up! Oh and the cost? $700!!!!!!!! Replies to this message: golfman3 (Jul 22, 2008 12:00 pm)

Replying to: eljay1 (May 06, 2008 6:18 am) Hi, Took mine to dlr (called first) to find IS warranteed front axles/drive shafts. The ABS rings on both sides were broken so they rplc'd both drive shafts under warr. Sweet.
