Mazda 3 Problem - Front shock absorber

[tucsonfanatic]

hello po sa lahat, i'm just new here sa forum po....

i own a mazda 3 2.0R '05 model, my problem is the front absorber has a leak, did not yet change since i bought my car cause i did not have any problem then... pa advise naman po kung saan pwede magpaayos, malayo po kasi ako, Norte po ako, Vigan... Magkano po kaya aabutin ko? do i need to replace both front shock absorbers?

thank you in advance po sa mga magrereply.

PS.. ironic po name ko, after my m3, gusto ko rin po kasi yng tucson 2010...

yes, you have to change both front shock absorbers and hindi pede isa lang choose kayaba gas type para mas mgnda and palagay ka na rin ng goma or rubber host dun sa shock mo para hindi bakal to bakal ung dikit nya (suggestions ko lng yan bro)

try mo servitek in your location and kung sa mekaniko pede din basta maganda pagkakabit, hope my suggestions helps

pareho tayo problem ng focus ko 1.8 2007 model yon. shock din problem ko dati e pero buti na lang asa warranty yung akin ang mahal ng shock ng ford ah mas mura sayo tol kasi nagpalit na ako rack end e kasi maluwag na tas bumili ako parts ng mazda kesa yung parts ng ford ang mahal kasi 2K difference nila sinabihan ako ng SA ko bili na lang ako parts ng mazda kc gawa ng ford yang mazda kaya halos same lan sila ng parts e kaso mas cheaper parts mo.. pero hindi lahat same bro yung iba lang.

back to your question dapat dalawa talaga papalitan ng shock kasi hindi magiging proportion yan meron pa isa papalitan dyan e nakalimutan ko kung ano tawag. pacheck mo na rin rack end mo kung ok pa. laki gastos mo dian

[speed unlimited]

Kung makakabili ka ng Kayaba shock absorber fluid type nakalagay diyan sa iyo mas mura kumpara sa gas shock mas mahal pero mas matigas lang pag nalulubak ka . Kung may mga shop diyan na gumagawa ng suspension pwede mo ng pakabit sa kanila.

hi, i have mazda 3 hatch '05 napansin ko lang kahit konting lubak or humps lang parang may tumatama sa ilalim, parang may sumasayad. sabi sa casa kasi daw lowered daw talaga ang mazda. may nakaka experience ba non?

[DEREK JR]

same with me. front right shock absorber ng mazda3 '08 ko ay may leak din. kapapasok lng sa casa. 30 k ang cost. ok lng kasi sagot ng company. im just wondering kung ilan pang mga mazda users ang may ganitong naging problema sa mga sasakyan nila. at may factory defect pa na papalitan pla ung sa radiator hose. buti nmn free of charge. mukang cause ng tama sa shock absorber ang mababang clearance ng mazda? what do you think?

[weetotoy]

I have the same shock problem with my Mazda 3 2.0, it seems na hindi ganun kaganda ang shocks nila or hindi lang talaga maganda ang road condition sa MM.

San ba here in Makati pwede magpareplace ng Kayaba Shock absorber? Meron ba ibang brand na okay din? Normally, how much would it cost ba for both front and rear shocks?

Salamat!

mazda 3 are notorious for premature busted shocks as well as other suspension components. its a combination of weak parts and quite heavy car body (about 100 kgs heavier than a typical sedan).

mazford in banawe sell kyb shocks, much tougher but cheaper than oem.

petron car care in ortigas are pretty good with mazda repairs.

Bro what kind of repair ang kini cater ng petron ortigas? Pati parts ba nagsusuply sila? Thanks.

[Asus700]

normal pms stuff, tune up, suspension, brakes, they do undercoat and detailing as well.

they can get the parts for you outside. they dont have stock of parts in the shop.

Mga kuya.. newbie ako sa mazda 3..... may parang tumutunog na langitngit dun sa right front shock ko twing aahon ako.. at twing first release ko ng selinyador... pero pg tumatakbo na.. wala naman.... minsanan lang...... kelangan ko ba magpalit ng right front shock...... ... patulong naman po......

[ek2jayvee]

i'm starting to hear rattling noises in coming from the front of our mazda 3 2.0. haven't checked the shocks yet, but usually are they the only culprit? or do some parts have to be checked too? thanks

[weetotoy]

2 things - if you hear a rattling noise sa harap parang malapit sa gulong please have your shock check then also the engine support....sakit both yan ng mazda, one of the technician in mazda told me that na marami ng silang pinalitan nyan na bagong bago pa...sakin pinapalitan ko na din ng engine and transmission support plus lately 4 shocks so far parang new na ulit sya....gastos nga lang

Ngayon ko lang nabasa 'to at mukhang di na active tong thread na to, kaso ako rin ganyan problem ko sa Mazda 3, parang may nag-rarattle sa harap tuwing nasa first gear, sabi nung mekaniko, "valve" daw at wala naman problema dun, pero inisip ko sa ibang kotse, di naman ganon. Talaga bang sa shocks yon? Can anyone explain kung bakit nagkakaganon? Thank you.

The ride is a little on the stiffer side. Good for handling, a little bad for passenger comfort.

Also the rear seats is kinda hard to get comfortable, especially on longer drives.

The 1.6L is definitely underpowered which results in the car consuming a bit more gas than it should. The 2.0L feels better balanced in power/weight.

thank you ghost hunter. medyo sanay naman ako sa 8kms per liter na consumption kasi 2005 sentra yun car ko ngayon. very tempting yung in house, medyo mataas lang monthly talaga.
