i took my 5 year old (35000 miles on the clock) to a local garage here in Leeds (UK) for a faulty (leaking) rear shock absorber (driver side) replacement. they then ordered the part (KYB brand) plus fitting on the same day (£100).

the next 2 days,noises again comes out at the rear (same problem). so i went back and they replaced it again with a brand new one. after about 20miles,i looked and checked the shocker. its damp and appears to be leaking oil again!

this will be my third trip to the garage and hopefully everything will be resolved.


does anyone experienced the same problem or anyone could give me a tip on wether theres some unusual procedure in mounting a shocker on mazda5 sport,so as to tell my local garage about it.

thanks!

 

Hi there.
Ive just had both my rear shocks changed on my 55 reg 50k sport at My local Mazda dealer in Bradford UK. Mine was covered by warranty but they told me it would have been £210 all done if not covered by the warranty.
Ive had No issues so far!

Thought it was a great price for a main dealer
