Is It Time For 1992 Mazda Miata Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1992 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, pulls 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 1992 Mazda Miata in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Miata suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mazda Miata 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 Miata Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1992 Mazda Miata suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1992 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 forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mazda Miata shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Mazda Miata’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.

1992 Miata Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 help you notice when you need 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 Miata? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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 can fill it per Mazda's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mazda Miata to have a bouncy ride? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Miata 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 do worn Mazda Miata shocks feel like? 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.
