How to remove and install rear shock absorbers on Mazda 3?

Unscrew the wheel lug nuts, lift the rear part of the car and place it on jackstands ensuring it is not rolled over. Take out the back wheel and suspend the back lower suspension arm with a floor jack. The second step is to take out the back shock lower mounting bolt and the nuts holding the upper shock mount to the body. Shock out of the car, and provided that new shocks are to be fitted, change the bracket to the top of the new shock. Installation is a reverse of the removal process, only that the strap of new gas-filled shock absorbers, which is compressed and held by a fiberglass strap is removed after installation. Lastly, screw the mounting screws to required torque.

What actions are necessary if the coil springs or shock absorber in the front suspension show signs of wear on Mazda 3?

Wearing out front suspension strut or coil springs (with leakages, dampening ability, sagging, broken coil springs) must be removed and repaired when the need arises. The struts may not be serviced, but should be replaced when bad and the springs and related parts can also be replaced separately. Components on both sides should be replaced at the same time in order to balance the characteristics on the two sides of the vehicle. By removing the assembly out of the vehicle, use the Allen key to hold the strut piston rod, and the box-end wrench to unscrew the retaining nut to the thrust bearing. Take out the top mount, upper spring seat,spring, and then the boot and bump stop. Should a new spring be to be installed, the original spring must be carefully removed out of the compressor; or should it be reused, it may be left in compression. Having completely disassembled the strut assembly, inspect all parts, and verify the smooth operation of the bearing, replacing parts according to the need. Check the strut to ensure it is not leaking, the piston rod to confirm that it is not pitting along its length, and damage on the strut body. Check the functioning of the strut by operating the piston with a complete stroke followed by a series of short strokes of 2 to 4 inches in holding the strut straight; it should be operated smoothly and continuously. In case of jerky or non-uniform resistance or when some wear or damage is evident, it needs to be replaced. The process of assembling is in reverse of disassembling with the exception that the coil springs are always placed with the paint mark at the bottom, the coil spring ends are always placed in the upper and lower seals and the nut on the piston rod is tightened to the required torque.

Mazda 3 Shock Absorber

Mazda 3 Shock Absorbers ensure the tires stay planted and the cabin is not disturbed as bumps are turned into harmless, controlled movement. Each Shock Absorber is paired with MacPherson struts and consists of a piston that slides through hydraulic fluid or pressurized gas, pushing it through small holes, which transforms jounce energy into heat and releases it, preventing repeated bouncing and nose diving during hard stops. The car has been using two primary damper designs over the years, the popular twin-tube and the higher-performance mono-tube layout, with the first being suitable for more comfortable daily use due to the compact shell size, whereas the latter dissipates heat more quickly and responds more accurately on spirited tours. The 3 can show wear; drivers can count rebounds by pushing the rear corner, or by doing a quick run followed by a hard brake, and additional hops or a forward dip indicate that the Shock Absorber is tired. Fluid leakage is dangerous as the lost oil can be scattered over parts of the suspension, it might seize the Shock Absorber, and it can prolong braking distances. Mazda official bulletin numbers TSB 02-002/12 address rear creaks cured with grease, and TSB 02-004/16 explains that a light oil film on the shaft may result from normal seal sweep and not failure. Maintaining the suspension in a healthy condition is also a safeguard, ensuring other Mazda parts do not wear away prematurely, and replacement can be done easily in less than an hour, which will rejuvenate the balanced ride that Mazda owners value.
