Miatas don't have struts. They use coil sprngs over shock absorbers at all four corners.
Struts could of gone bad, otherwise its a miata....not meant for the hearty ones
Not if they are struts - need a spring compressor
The 92' Miata, (also known as a MX-5), has a Strut Assembly in the rear suspension. It consist of a Shock, Coil Spring, and a Strut Mount.
We have a 1995 Miata and the horn stops working from time to time. If you lift the hood, right in front of the radiator, the horn plugs in. I just re plug it when it happens. I hope this is what your miata is doing.
It does not have shocks on the front, it has struts. You better know what you are doing when replacing struts or you can get seriously injured. Take it to a pro.
Whew, there are many steps in doing this, it is recommended you get a manual. www.miatamania.com or ebay.com
if doing yourself just buy quick struts for the car if they make them for that model they cost more but they save a lot of time gas charged struts are junk
Mazda Miatas do not have struts (they use shocks), so the braces that go across the engine bay are not absolutely necessary or beneficial as they would be with vehicles that have a strut setup. Shock tower bars on Miatas do tend to add rigidity, but there is a very mixed consensus by Miata enthusiasts on whether they offer a lot of value on Miatas.
Struts.
It has Struts and not shocks. If the car is bouncing or floating whenever you hit a dip in the road, or seems to handle poorly, these are signs of worn struts. A leak in one of the struts is also a sign of a bad strut. Mileage is another factor. Struts today will last a long time, but if the car has over 100,000 miles, then more than likely the struts need replacing. As to replacing them, unless you have the proper tools and knowledge, take it to a pro. Serious injury can occur when replacing struts, if you don't know what you are doing.
You may have tired shocks absorbers or struts.
Will a 1992 mazda miata hardtop fit a 2000 mazda miata?
