Front Shock Absorber Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the front shock absorber. (See FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER AND COIL SPRING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .) (See FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER AND COIL SPRING DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY .)
  2. Inspect for damage and oil leakage.
  3. Compress and extend the shock absorber piston rod at least three times  at a steady rate. From the fourth  compression stroke, verify that the operational force does not change and that there is no unusual noise.
    • If there is any malfunction, replace the front shock absorber.
