WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the front shock absorber.
- Inspect for damage and oil leakage.
- Compress and extend the shock absorber piston rod at least three times at a steady speed. From the fourth compression stroke, verify that the operational force does not change and that there is no unusual noise.
- If there is any malfunction, replace the shock absorber.
