From zero to hero: Mazda manages a resurrection act
2009
Overview
The steering rack has three mountings instead of two, the suspension subframes are stronger and the rubber bushes in the suspension are stiffer. The tyres, now with extra-stiff sidewalls, are mounted on hefty 18in wheels. The driveshafts are now designed so that each has the same resistance to twisting as the other, which should stop the former tendency to tug sideways on sudden acceleration. The front anti-roll bar's mounting points are nearer to the car's edges, so the bar has more favourable leverage and a more immediate effect. Even if you're not into the niceties of suspension design, you'll sense that the MPS should now steer like a go-kart (and maybe ride like a farm-cart). Inevitably, given the technical explanation, the MPS feels unyielding over lumps and bumps. But it's not as bad as I expected, because the suspension is softer than before. Maybe more supple sidewalls in the tyres would create a compromise, but the MPS engineer, Shinichi Inata, wants to keep the new car's very positive steering feel around the straight-ahead position. It's a point of honour given the old car's hopelessness there.
