Does Your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your MX-5 Miata jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Mazda MX-5 Miata suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mazda up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mazda MX-5 Miata shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2010 MX-5 Miata Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MX-5 Miata's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mazda MX-5 Miata? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Mazda MX-5 Miata power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your MX-5 Miata is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mazda MX-5 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 MX-5 Miata to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my MX-5 Miata tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your MX-5 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 MX-5 Miata shocks feel like? Worn MX-5 Miata shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your MX-5 Miata might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your MX-5 Miata shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
