Update.

Creaking, sorted.
Handling, sorted. It was tracking. The Mazdaspeed suspension is too soft for my liking but that\'s a different story..
Knocking, STILL ANNOYING ME.

I have decided to start a new thread to make the info easy to find if anything useful comes up.  http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24450

Congrats on fixing it.

As for the knock, sure it\'s not coil slap? You say it\'s very soft maybe the coil is hitting itself with too much travel. Not sure how you can test it unless you take the fender off and get someone to launch themselves onto the side of the car while you watch :)

Pretty sure it\'s not coil slap. It happens at low speeds and there is not any excess compression on the springs. I am thinking about gettng the worn engine mount replaced to see if it\'s that which is causing the knock.

only other thing i can suggest is the swaybar mounts, they don\'t look \'ultra\' strong but would think your handling would be excessively bad if anything was crook there.
