Does Your 2020 Acura MDX Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2020 Acura MDX, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your MDX jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2020 Acura MDX in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your MDX suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Acura MDX suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Acura MDX’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your MDX’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Acura MDX shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Acura MDX suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2020 MDX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Acura's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Acura MDX? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Acura intended.
  • When does Acura MDX power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your MDX is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Acura's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Acura MDX bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my MDX front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your MDX's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Acura MDX are bad? 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.
