Does Your 1990 Mazda MX-6 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1990 Mazda MX-6, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your MX-6 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1990 Mazda MX-6, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your MX-6 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 MX-6’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.

Mazda MX-6 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1990 Mazda MX-6 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 getting your 1990 Mazda MX-6’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mazda MX-6 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your MX-6’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 MX-6 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mazda MX-6? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mazda intended.
  • Does my Mazda MX-6 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your MX-6 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Mazda's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mazda MX-6 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your MX-6 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my MX-6 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your MX-6 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Mazda MX-6 are bad? If your MX-6 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your MX-6 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
