When To Get 2017 Acura RLX Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Acura RLX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your RLX jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 Acura RLX in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Acura RLX’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Acura RLX Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Acura RLX 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 2017 Acura RLX shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Acura RLX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Acura RLX’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 RLX 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Acura RLX? 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 connect with the road how Acura intended.
  • Does my Acura RLX 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 RLX is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Acura's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Acura RLX bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your RLX to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my RLX 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.
  • What do worn Acura RLX shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your RLX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your RLX travels over minor bumps.
