Does Your 2010 Acura RDX Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2010 Acura RDX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your RDX feels bouncy, leans 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 2010 Acura RDX in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your RDX steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Acura RDX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Acura RDX suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Acura up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Acura RDX’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Acura RDX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your RDX’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.

Questions About 2010 Acura RDX Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Acura's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Acura RDX get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • Does my Acura RDX 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 RDX’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Acura service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Acura RDX bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Acura RDX 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 RDX tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Acura RDX are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your RDX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your RDX travels over minor bumps.
