Does Your 1984 Mazda GLC Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1984 Mazda GLC, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your GLC jolts, leans 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 1984 Mazda GLC 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your GLC suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GLC 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 GLC Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1984 Mazda GLC’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mazda up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1984 Mazda GLC shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mazda GLC shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GLC’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1984 Mazda GLC Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GLC's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 GLC? 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 does Mazda GLC power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mazda's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mazda GLC bounce 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 GLC's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your GLC combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mazda GLC need replacing? If your GLC 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 GLC might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
