How to fix a crunchy Mazda
Some customers may experience a metallic crunching/shudder affect when attempting left or right turning with slight road incline-to-decline (or vice versa) at slow speeds of less than 9 mph. This applies to 2009-2010 CX-9 vehicles built before JM3 TB****A*214479 (January 8, 2010).
After verifying the concern, replace the ABS/DSC Hydraulic Unit (A in illustration). Refer to MS3 on line or Workshop Manual (section 04-18 DSC/RSC HU/CM Removal/Installation for the replacement procedure.
