Does Your 1991 Mazda 323 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1991 Mazda 323, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 323 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 Mazda 323, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 323 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mazda 323’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mazda 323

Your 1991 Mazda 323’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mazda up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 323’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mazda 323 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 Mazda 323 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 323 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 323's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mazda 323 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mazda intended.
  • When should I have my Mazda 323 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 323’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mazda's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mazda 323 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 323 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 323 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 323's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mazda 323 shocks? If your 323 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 323 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
