Does Your 1996 Mazda Millenia Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1996 Mazda Millenia, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Millenia feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1996 Mazda Millenia, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Millenia suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Mazda Millenia suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mazda Millenia Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1996 Mazda Millenia’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mazda up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1996 Mazda Millenia’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mazda Millenia shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Millenia’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 1996 Mazda Millenia Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Millenia's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mazda Millenia? 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.
  • When should I have my Mazda Millenia power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Millenia’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mazda Millenia bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Millenia goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Millenia tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Millenia's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mazda Millenia need replacing? Worn Millenia shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
