after shock replacement? First of all I drive a 1990 year Mazda Miata MX5. It has about 270,000 Miles with original shocks and suspension never replaced.
I am very concerned about this so I would like serious answers please from experienced mechanics and/or knowledgeable people. I would also prefer an actual person who owns the same car as mine and who experiences or experienced something similar to what I experience currently.
I currently own this car. I was just wondering if i should or should not replace the shocks on my mazda miata.
My Tires are fine and they seem to wear out evenly and normally without any problems. But when I drive on the city street or especially on the freeway at high speed, I feel my car is somewhat bumpy and there seems to be alot of road noise while i drive.
My car is most bumpy when I drive on roads that are old due to age where there are lots of bumps and cracks on the road. My car is bumpy mostly on the CA 57 north and CA 60 East towards riverside. I always tend to worry and feel that my engine will pop out at high speeds which it doesn't. Also, Like i said, my tires seems to wear out normally, So, I'm not too sure whether or not I should change my shocks absorbers. I have heard from many shops and people I should replace shocks around every 50,000 miles.
Should I replace the shocks on my car and would it be worth it or not worth it?
Will I be able to feel a major difference like driving a new or low mileage car such as smoothness, less bumpiness while i drive, and road noise isolation?
What other parts/suspension parts are associated with shocks that would need to be replaced within the job?
Where is a good place I can go for a good reasonable price and professional work?
For more Information,
The State Where I live: Southern California
County where i live: Los Angeles Border/Orange
City where I live: La Mirada
Cities I am comfortable driving to: La Mirada, Brea, Fullerton, Cerritos, Artesia, La Habra, and/or anything within ~10-20 miles from locations I have listed.
Also, If anybody knows any good places near Riverside, California especially near UC Riverside campus, That would be good because I will be living there for school in few weeks.
Thanks
