Replacement Interval
Replacement is recommended every 80,000–100,000 km or when symptoms appear.
Always replace shock absorbers in pairs on the same axle — uneven wear causes the vehicle to pull to one side under braking.
Signs of Worn Shock Absorbers
- Body nose-dives under braking, bounces on bumps
- Knocking, squeaking or vague feeling through corners
- Increased stopping distance by 10–15%
- Uneven tyre wear (flat spots, cupping)
- Oil leaks visible on the shock absorber body
FAQ
Which shock absorbers should I choose for Mazda CX-5 KF?
For standard use: Sachs 316 066 or Monroe G8173 — OE-level quality at a fair price. For improved handling: Bilstein 24-191002.
Should shock absorbers always be replaced in pairs?
Yes — always replace both shock absorbers on the same axle. A difference in condition between left and right causes instability under braking and in corners.
Do I need to replace the springs when fitting new shock absorbers on Mazda CX-5 KF?
Springs are replaced separately, only when visibly damaged (cracks, sagging, breakage). They are not replaced as routine preventive maintenance.
