Hey guys, I got a problem.

My shocks, or springs, or whatever it is that rests on the car is going bad, I think.

What I'm trying to say is...when I drive, the car's springs are fine, but every little bump feels like i'm hitting a boulder. It's very very rough, I have a feeling that the shock bushings or whatever are wasted away. The rubber bushing that rests between the shocks and the mounting area is quite a bit cracked. Is that so? Buying a new set of Tokico or Eibach springs and struts obviously wont fix the problem unless I get the bushings, right? If anyone know where I can pick up some bushings or whatever else is missing, please let me know. It's getting worse everday : \. Thanks again in advance for any help I may get.

 

Bump. I could use some help.

 

You could use some patience


Those rubber upper mounts can ordered through your local mazda dealer Its most likely your shocks that are worn out so while you are down there, check and make sure those are in good working order also.

No bumps

 

push down hard on all 4 corners of your car and check for bounciness. if i bounces a lot then i would say that your shocks are shot...also check for leaks or excess wetness on the shock. if it's wet or caked with dirt and mud they are most likely shot.
