When To Get 2005 Acura MDX Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2005 Acura MDX, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your MDX jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Acura MDX, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Acura MDX’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Acura MDX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Acura MDX suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Acura MDX’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Acura MDX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Acura MDX’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 MDX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my MDX's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Acura MDX? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Acura intended.
  • When should I have my Acura MDX power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your MDX’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Acura's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Acura MDX bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Acura MDX might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my MDX front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your MDX 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 do worn Acura MDX shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your MDX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your MDX travels over minor bumps.
