Does Your 1989 Mazda B2600 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1989 Mazda B2600, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your B2600 bounces, drifts 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 1989 Mazda B2600, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your B2600 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda B2600 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1989 Mazda B2600’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1989 Mazda B2600’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mazda B2600 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1989 Mazda B2600’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1989 B2600 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my B2600's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mazda B2600? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mazda intended.
  • When should I have my Mazda B2600 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your B2600 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mazda B2600 bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mazda B2600 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.
  • Why does my B2600 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your B2600'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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mazda B2600 need replacing? If your B2600 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 B2600 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
