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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Why should my Acura TL get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.

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 can fill it per Acura's recommendations 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's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

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?

If your TL shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your TL might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

Does Your 2014 Acura TL Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 Acura TL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your TL bounces, pulls 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 TL in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Acura TL’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 TL Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 Acura TL’s suspension. 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 2014 Acura TL shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Acura TL shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Acura TL suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
