2005 Mazda 3 front suspension

[blade_ss]

I have a stock 05 Mazda 3 hatch, with 65000 mile on her. And when I take on-ramps onto the freeway my front right tire bounces and shakes the steering wheel. this is not under hard acceleration just constant. I think its might be my shocks.

Any ideas what the issue may be?

You think correct, except technically it's a strut, not a shock on the front.
replace them in pairs.

Have you looked to see if it's leaking?

I've looked and they dont seem to leaking. I am looking to also lower my car a little. What are the best struts to get? I've heard koni's are pretty good.

bump to myself.

Any ideas on the best struts to get?

Koni's are the best choice.
Get the best of the best when doing suspension mods as I went cheap and regret the extra noise and short term life on endlinks.
