Is It Time For 2007 Mazda CX-9 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2007 Mazda CX-9, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your CX-9 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 Mazda CX-9 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mazda CX-9 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mazda CX-9 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2007 Mazda CX-9’s suspension. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your CX-9’s shocks and struts 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 could all be indicators of worn Mazda CX-9 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2007 Mazda CX-9 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.

2007 CX-9 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mazda's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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-9? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mazda CX-9 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 CX-9’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mazda CX-9 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your CX-9 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my CX-9's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your CX-9'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 CX-9 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your CX-9 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your CX-9 travels over minor bumps.
