Does Your 2014 Acura RDX Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 Acura RDX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your RDX bounces, 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 2014 Acura RDX in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your RDX suspension system needs repair, 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 2014 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 2014 Acura RDX shock and strut replacement 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 good idea to have your 2014 Acura RDX’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2014 RDX 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. 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 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Acura RDX 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 RDX 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 RDX bouncing so much? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my RDX to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What do worn Acura RDX shocks feel like? 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.
