When To Get 2015 Acura RDX Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2015 Acura RDX, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your RDX jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2015 Acura RDX, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Acura RDX’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 2015 Acura RDX suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2015 Acura RDX shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Acura RDX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 Acura RDX’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2015 RDX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Acura's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Acura RDX? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Acura intended.
  • When does Acura RDX power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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? 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 RDX's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your RDX'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 do I know if I have worn Acura RDX shocks? 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.
