When To Get 2008 Acura MDX Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2008 Acura MDX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your MDX feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Acura MDX in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2008 Acura MDX’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 limit vibration and keep your Acura up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your MDX’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Acura MDX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your MDX’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 MDX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Acura's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Acura MDX? 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 the tires connect with the road how Acura intended.
  • Does my Acura MDX power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your MDX’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Acura's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Acura MDX bouncing 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my MDX to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Acura MDX need replacing? Worn MDX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your MDX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your MDX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
