When To Get 2001 Acura TL Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2001 Acura TL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your TL jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2001 Acura TL in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your TL suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Acura TL suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Acura TL

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2001 Acura TL’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your TL’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Acura TL shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Acura TL’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2001 Acura TL Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my TL's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 TL 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 the tires connect with the road how Acura intended.
  • When does Acura TL 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 TL is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Acura's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Acura TL bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your TL to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my TL front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your TL combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Acura TL need replacing? Worn TL shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your TL might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your TL shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
