When To Get 2021 Mazda CX-9 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 Mazda CX-9, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your CX-9 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 Mazda CX-9, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your CX-9 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda CX-9 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Mazda CX-9’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mazda up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your CX-9’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mazda CX-9 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Mazda CX-9 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2021 Mazda CX-9 Steering & Suspension

  • 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. 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-9? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mazda CX-9 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your CX-9 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mazda CX-9 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mazda CX-9 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-9's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your CX-9 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Mazda CX-9 need replacing? If your CX-9 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-9 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
