Where are the shocks and struts located on a 2012 Mazda 3?
Does the 2012 Mazda 3 have struts and shocks rear and front?

 

I was told that only struts are in front and shocks are in back of my 2012 Mazda 3......Is this true?

 

This Mazda forum has the most stupid ignorant people that don't know the simplest questions to smile answers.....
I'm gonna find me a more intelligent forum that knows more about Mazdas...
Have a good one you ignorant people.

 

Larry the front of your MAZDA has struts the rear are shock.
Sorry you did not get a better answer but most on forums are DIY and not Automotive Technician's.
