Is It Time For 2023 Mazda CX-9 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2023 Mazda CX-9, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your CX-9 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2023 Mazda CX-9 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mazda CX-9’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-9 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2023 Mazda CX-9 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. 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. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mazda CX-9 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your CX-9’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2023 Mazda CX-9 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CX-9's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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-9? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mazda CX-9 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your CX-9 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mazda's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Mazda CX-9 bounce so much? 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 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mazda CX-9 shocks? Worn CX-9 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CX-9 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CX-9 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
