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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Why should my Mazda Miata get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

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 come into contact with the road in the way Mazda intended.

When does Mazda Miata power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Miata’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 Miata bouncing excessively?

Excessive bouncing in your Mazda Miata 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 Miata's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

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 Miata are bad?

Worn Miata shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Miata might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Miata shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 1991 Mazda Miata Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1991 Mazda Miata, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Miata feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1991 Mazda Miata 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mazda Miata’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mazda Miata Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1991 Mazda Miata’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 getting your 1991 Mazda Miata’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Mazda Miata shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Mazda Miata’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.
