When To Get 2021 Mazda CX-5 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 Mazda CX-5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your CX-5 jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Mazda CX-5 in for steering and suspension services. 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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel 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 Mazda CX-5’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda CX-5 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2021 Mazda CX-5’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. 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 2021 Mazda CX-5 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side 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 2021 Mazda CX-5 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2021 Mazda CX-5 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mazda's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 CX-5? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mazda's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mazda CX-5 bouncing excessively? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my CX-5 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your CX-5'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 CX-5 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your CX-5 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your CX-5 travels over minor bumps.
