When To Get 2005 Acura NSX Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2005 Acura NSX, 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 NSX bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 Acura NSX 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your NSX suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Acura NSX’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 NSX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Acura NSX suspension system. 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 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 NSX’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Acura NSX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Acura NSX’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 NSX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my NSX's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Acura NSX? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Acura intended.
  • Does my Acura NSX power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your NSX is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Acura's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Acura NSX bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your NSX to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my NSX to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your NSX'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.
  • What do worn Acura NSX shocks feel like? Worn NSX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your NSX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your NSX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
