Is It Time For 2003 Mazda MPV Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2003 Mazda MPV, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your MPV bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Mazda MPV 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your MPV suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mazda MPV’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mazda MPV

Your 2003 Mazda MPV’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your MPV’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mazda MPV shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Mazda MPV’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2003 Mazda MPV Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MPV's steering and 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mazda MPV? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 MPV 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 MPV’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 MPV to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my MPV front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your MPV'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mazda MPV are bad? Worn MPV shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your MPV might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your MPV shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
