Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Acura's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Acura TLX?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.

Does my Acura TLX power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your TLX’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Acura's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.

What can cause my Acura TLX to have a bouncy ride?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your TLX to bounce more than usual.

Why does my TLX's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your TLX 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.

How do I know if I have worn Acura TLX shocks?

Worn TLX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your TLX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your TLX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Is It Time For 2015 Acura TLX Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2015 Acura TLX, 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 TLX jolts, drifts 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 2015 Acura TLX in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your TLX steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Acura TLX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2015 Acura TLX’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 2015 Acura TLX 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 rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Acura TLX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your TLX’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.
