Is It Time For 2005 Mazda Miata Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2005 Mazda Miata, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Miata jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Mazda Miata, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mazda Miata

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Mazda Miata suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Mazda Miata shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mazda Miata shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Miata’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2005 Mazda Miata 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 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Miata is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mazda's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mazda Miata to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Miata to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Miata tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
