Does Your 2020 Mazda CX-5 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2020 Mazda CX-5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your CX-5 bounces, sways 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 2020 Mazda CX-5, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your CX-5 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your CX-5 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 CX-5 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 Mazda CX-5 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2020 Mazda CX-5’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Mazda CX-5 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your CX-5’s 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.

2020 CX-5 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mazda CX-5? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 does Mazda CX-5 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your CX-5 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mazda's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mazda CX-5 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mazda CX-5 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 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? If your CX-5 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 CX-5 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
