Is It Time For 2015 Mazda CX-5 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2015 Mazda CX-5, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your CX-5 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2015 Mazda CX-5 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Mazda CX-5’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 CX-5 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2015 Mazda CX-5’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2015 Mazda CX-5’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mazda CX-5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 Mazda CX-5 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 CX-5 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mazda's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 CX-5? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • Does my Mazda CX-5 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 CX-5 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 CX-5 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your CX-5 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 CX-5 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your CX-5 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mazda CX-5 shocks? Worn CX-5 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CX-5 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CX-5 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
