Damper (Right) - Front | Mazda3 Sedan & Hatchback (2007-2013)

Your Mazda3 Sedan & Hatchback's Suspension System is an important part of the driver's control of the car, as well as the comfort of the passengers. The springs of the suspension help absorb the bumps, reduce jolting, while the dampers help prevent bouncing up and down. Dampers, (aka shock absorbers) contains a oil-filled cylinder in which a piston moves inside it alongside the up and down movement of the wheels. Dampers are an important part as they help dissipate the energy stored in the spring from bumps.
