When To Get 1986 Mazda 626 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1986 Mazda 626, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 626 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1986 Mazda 626 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your 626 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda 626 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1986 Mazda 626’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1986 Mazda 626’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mazda 626 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 626’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1986 626 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mazda's 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mazda 626? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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.
  • Does my Mazda 626 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 626 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mazda 626 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Mazda 626 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 626 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 626'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.
  • What do worn Mazda 626 shocks feel like? If your 626 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 626 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
