hi there,check engine mounts to make sure if your engine is loose or not? if that's not the case check your suspensions as well.. I am not sure but it's always tough to tell without seeing.. if the problem is the engine mounts then order it from ebay and any mechanic can easily replace the mounts without taking it to the mazda dealer.. how many miles on ur car?

Check your swaybar bushings and endlinks.

Did you, as was suggested, check your swaybar bushings and endlinks?

Start with:

Are they missing?

If they are there, then move on to:

Are they damaged?

If they don't appear to be damaged, then move on to:

Are they worn/loose?

And if they are not worn/loose, then they are probably fine.
