Suspension Problems
Hello all,
I need a little help diagnosing a suspension problem I have on a 2006 Mazda 3, 5 door Grand Touring. Symptoms: While driving and particularly under acceleration through turns in wet or minor rough roads, it feels like the inside wheel breaks traction and starts hopping. I have to let of the gas pedal to get it to stop. I'm not doing burnouts or anything, it happens under normal acceleration. It happens in straight lines if I hit a sharp bump as well. The front wheels, not the whole car, feel like they're bouncing. It happens more on the right front then the left front. I notice no noticeable diving under breaking, no bouncing like you get with bad shocks and no grinding when turning the wheel. Thanks for any help |
Have you checked to make sure all the engine mounts are still fine?
|
The engine mounts were replaced a year and a half ago. I know it's not the engine mount.
|
Have you looked for a leaky strut or a broken endlink?
|
You don't say what year and mileage your Mz3 is at, or where and what conditions you normally drive in. It may just be a blown strut. The OE's, like most, leave something to be desired. |
