When To Get 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 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 MX-5 Miata bounces, leans 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 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your MX-5 Miata suspension system needs repair, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mazda MX-5 Miata shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2014 MX-5 Miata Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mazda MX-5 Miata? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mazda intended.
  • When does Mazda MX-5 Miata power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your MX-5 Miata’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mazda's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Mazda MX-5 Miata bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mazda MX-5 Miata 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my MX-5 Miata to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mazda MX-5 Miata need replacing? 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.
