When To Get 1993 Mazda Protege Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1993 Mazda Protege, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Protege feels bouncy, pulls 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 1993 Mazda Protege 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Protege steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mazda Protege Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1993 Mazda Protege’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 getting your 1993 Mazda Protege’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mazda Protege shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Protege’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1993 Protege Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mazda's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 Protege? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 does Mazda Protege power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Protege’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Mazda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mazda Protege bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Protege tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Protege 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 Protege shocks feel like? Worn Protege shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Protege might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Protege shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
