Does Your 2017 Acura TLX Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2017 Acura TLX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your TLX feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 Acura TLX 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your TLX suspension system needs repair, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Acura TLX Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2017 Acura TLX’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2017 Acura TLX shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Acura TLX shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Acura TLX suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 TLX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Acura TLX? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Acura TLX power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your TLX’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Acura's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Acura TLX bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your TLX goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my TLX tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your TLX'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Acura TLX are bad? 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.
