Is It Time For 1997 Mazda Millenia Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1997 Mazda Millenia, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Millenia jolts, pulls 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 1997 Mazda Millenia, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Millenia suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Millenia steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda Millenia Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Mazda Millenia suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 getting your 1997 Mazda Millenia’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mazda Millenia shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 Mazda Millenia’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1997 Millenia Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mazda's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Millenia? 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.
  • Does my Mazda Millenia power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Millenia is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Mazda Millenia to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mazda Millenia 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 Millenia's nose dive down 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? If your Millenia shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Millenia might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
