Mazda 5 Shocks & Struts

When your minivan handles well in the urban areas and on the interstate highways, while adhering to the paved surface, you should thank its shocks and struts. Although, when it comes to your Mazda 5’s automaker-installed shocks and struts, there are several issues which you may experience during their service life. With considerable mileage, original-equipment dampers can suffer punctured cylinders from road debris, while their bodies can corrode and oxidize. Factory-supplied shocks and struts can suffer from leaky seals within the monotubes, thus causing the nitrogen and mineral or synthetic hydraulic oil to leak out or intermix.

There are various tell-tale signs which can show that your vehicle's dampers are getting too worn out and need replacement. Your minivan may not remain leveled, while suffering from considerable nosedives; this issue is also known as squat. Your Mazda 5 minivan can suffer from excessive bouncing, especially while driving over ridges or humps. One more issue is excessive tire bouncing, with the wheels responding to the road surface unevenly, which will cause uneven tire wear. You may experience difficult handling while driving in bad weather on the wet or icy surface, with your minivan shifting from side to side. Choose from our Mazda 5 shocks & struts to keep your van driving like the day that it rolled off the showroom floor!
