Mine did this about a year after I fitted new anti-roll bar bushes but didn't fit new brackets. Got a clonk when turning one way, like something had thumped the floorpan. Turned out one u-bracket had sheared and the rubber bush had dropped out. Because this had happened to Kirsty a short while before it happened to me, I have taken her advice and shall now renew bushes AND brackets whenever the ARB bushes need renewing (esp. as ebay type pattern ones might well be flimsier than originals).

The proper mazda ones are only about a fiver apiece, so with the ARB's & brackets, it really is a false economy to fit anything but the proper mazda, although PU may be the way to go if a decent supplier can be found.
