I have 6M 2003 RX8 with about 17500 miles. When I am driving at low speeds 10-15 mph I can hear a grinding and clicking noise from the front left side , sounds like a suspension or something related like that, but no sound on higher speeds and no problem with wheel wear. anyone same problem? and what to do with the damm door rattle thing?

my first thought was break wear, but after looking at your mileage, it wouldn't be that. take into the dealer and get it checked out.

got new brakes...as i live in Dhaka..Bangladesh...braking is a b...h and we usually change them 10k for automatics and 15k on manual tranny vehicles. Everything else is ok...just the clicking and grinding...the dealer here cant seem to find out (not quite the dealership you would think about, they sell very few RX8's as they cost about $60k with hight duty...something like Singapore). so i am stuck here with a lame delearship and an annoying noise....freaking out here Help!!

Yeah know about that TSB, taking it to the dealer tomorrow and do it, but it sure does not sound or FEEL like its coming from the brakes. But lets see...anyone fixed the door rattle?

Got back from the shop, the sound is from the left side strut and seems they need to be replaced. Although it has reduced about 50%. they did some counter measure by adding rubber insulation to the coil spring and re oiled the joints etc
