Is It Time For 1995 Mazda MX-3 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1995 Mazda MX-3, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your MX-3 feels bouncy, 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 1995 Mazda MX-3 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your MX-3 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mazda MX-3’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 MX-3

Your 1995 Mazda MX-3’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. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your MX-3’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Mazda MX-3 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1995 Mazda MX-3 suspension 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.

Questions About 1995 Mazda MX-3 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mazda's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mazda MX-3? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mazda MX-3 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your MX-3 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Mazda's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mazda MX-3 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your MX-3 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 MX-3 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your MX-3 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mazda MX-3 shocks? Worn MX-3 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your MX-3 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your MX-3 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
