Suspension problem
2000 Mazda Millenia millenium edition supercharge 2.3 V6 miller engine Front Wheel Drive Automatic 90000 miles

i know I need to replace shocks coz ride is really bouncy. At 110 km on curves left or rights it feel like Iam gonna lose control. In the city when making L or R turns there is a clicking/clunking noise coming from the wheel the car is turning to. I have 4 new tires on. Other than the shocks(4) what else do I need to replace to get a good ride and handling control (ie. Springs, sway bar etc, etc, ) UI have a lot of tim to do this, what I need is some detailed instructions and diagram. Pictures would definitelly be an asset.
Thank you so much, You Guys are GREAT.

Hi and thanks for the donation.
Although we cannot see the amount that you donated, We can see that you made a donation and your question is put in a special list that we try to answer as soon as possible.

Suspension components do not have a maintenance schedule. They are replaced as needed by visual and "touchie feelie" inspection.

For example the rubber bushings on the sway bar, the ends links, and the control arms.
If they are missing or broken, then they are replaced.
For ball joints and tie rod ends, if there is too much play, then they are replaced.

Your clicking noise while turning; that could be something in the suspension. But if you only hear it while turning, that's a really good sign of bad outer CV joints.
