Mazda Miata Shocks & Struts

Shocks are vital parts of the suspension system of your Mazda Miata which control the spring movement. By doing this, dampers, as shocks are also called, ensure that the tires stay in contact with the road surface and prevent the tires and wheels from moving up and down too quickly. Typically, dampers operate using piston rods mounted to pistons which move inside the hydraulic fluid cylinder. Over time, pistons can wear out, cylinders can start leaking which altogether can result in failure of shocks and struts.

Defective shocks and struts can not only cause tire bouncing and harsh ride, but also loss of control over your car which is something you definitely do not want to happen, especially when the car in question is a fun-to-drive roadster alike to a Mazda Miata. If you have noticed that your car has become unsteady on the road or it shakes and rattles much more than usual, this may mean your dampers need your attention. Other symptoms include excessive vibration in the steering wheel and swerving and dipping when the brakes are applied. Should you notice any of these signs, inspect your dampers and get new Mazda Miata shocks and struts if necessary. Here we carry replacement parts that restore OE-like ride quality and control.
