Does Your 1985 Mazda GLC Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1985 Mazda GLC, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your GLC jolts, leans 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 1985 Mazda GLC in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your GLC suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mazda GLC suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda GLC Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Mazda GLC suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1985 Mazda GLC shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth 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 regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1985 Mazda GLC Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mazda's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 GLC? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mazda intended.
  • Does my Mazda GLC 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 GLC’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Mazda's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Mazda GLC bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mazda GLC are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GLC feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GLC travels over minor bumps.
