When To Get 2011 Mazda CX-7 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2011 Mazda CX-7, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your CX-7 jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Mazda CX-7, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your CX-7 suspension system needs repair, 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-7’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mazda CX-7

Your 2011 Mazda CX-7’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Mazda CX-7 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 an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mazda CX-7 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Mazda CX-7 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2011 Mazda CX-7 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mazda CX-7? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Mazda intended.
  • When should I have my Mazda CX-7 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your CX-7’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mazda CX-7 bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my CX-7 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your CX-7 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.
  • What do worn Mazda CX-7 shocks feel like? Worn CX-7 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CX-7 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CX-7 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
