Does Your 2017 Acura ILX Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2017 Acura ILX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your ILX feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Acura ILX in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Acura ILX’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Acura ILX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Acura ILX’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 Acura ILX’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Acura ILX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ILX’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 ILX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ILX's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Acura ILX? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Acura ILX power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your ILX’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Acura's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Acura ILX bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your ILX goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my ILX's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your ILX when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Acura ILX need replacing? Worn ILX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ILX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ILX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
