When To Get 2013 Acura TL Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2013 Acura TL, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your TL 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 2013 Acura TL, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your TL steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Acura TL Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 Acura TL suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 2013 Acura TL’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Acura TL shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 Acura TL suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2013 TL Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 TL? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 should I have my Acura TL power steering fluid checked? 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 ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Acura TL bouncing so much? 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? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your TL'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.
  • What do worn Acura TL shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your TL feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your TL travels over minor bumps.
