When To Get 1989 Mazda B2200 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1989 Mazda B2200, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your B2200 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1989 Mazda B2200 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mazda B2200’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mazda B2200 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1989 Mazda B2200’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 B2200’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mazda B2200 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1989 Mazda B2200 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.

1989 B2200 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mazda's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 B2200 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mazda intended.
  • When does Mazda B2200 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your B2200 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mazda's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mazda B2200 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your B2200 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my B2200 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Mazda B2200 shocks feel like? Worn B2200 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your B2200 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your B2200 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
