Mazda Millenia Shocks & Struts

The suspension's role is really crucial. First, it bears the weight of a vehicle and provides its right distribution. Second, it helps to ensure proper contact between the road surface and tires contributing to good handling and cornering. Finally, the suspension is largely responsible for comfort in a cabin. In this scenario, shocks and struts are among the main actors, and their function influences handling, safety, and comfort. Even a well-balanced car as the Mazda Millenia will start bouncing and become less controllable in case of failure of shocks or struts.

In a typical suspension system, coil springs react to the irregularities of the road by compressing or stretching. During this process, they accumulate kinetic energy that has to be dissipated. Here come the shocks and struts, whose main function is to absorb and disperse the excess kinetic energy. Substantially, they work as hydraulic pumps where a piston moving through special fluid transforms kinetic energy into heat. We have a large selection of Mazda Millenia shocks and struts designed by aftermarket companies to meet or exceed factory standards in this category.
