Is It Time For 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your MX-5 Miata bounces, leans 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 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your MX-5 Miata suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mazda MX-5 Miata’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mazda MX-5 Miata

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mazda MX-5 Miata shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 MX-5 Miata Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mazda's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 should my Mazda MX-5 Miata get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires 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? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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.
  • What can cause my Mazda MX-5 Miata to have a bouncy ride? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your MX-5 Miata'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 do I know if I have worn Mazda MX-5 Miata shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your MX-5 Miata feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your MX-5 Miata travels over minor bumps.
