"Check out"?

Some parts fall off randomly?

Some tweaker give you a "Special" on shock upgrades?

What specifically makes ya feel it needs to be checked out?

More details are always better

It seems to be hitting harder than normal over curbs, speed bumps etc

Sorry for the short responses, I've been at work all day. So its a 2016 Mazda cx-5 FWD with 77k miles on it with new tires last year. It seems to be getting a little worse as time goes on but I don't see any leaking anywhere.

Simple shock/strut replacement then. About $160 each for the fronts and about $60 each for the rears for that model. Thats give or take depending on where ya get em.

Simple? Im not sure, but that's why to see if someone can check the suspension out first. Then if needed I can get a quote because I don't think I can tackle this job on my own.

Thanks

Yeah, its not that difficult at all. With that low mileage, unless ya had major damage or other work done to it and not done properly its unlikely to be anything else. Only takes a couple hrs to swap all 4 out.
