Does Your 2004 Honda Accord Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2004 Honda Accord, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Accord feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2004 Honda Accord in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Accord 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 Honda Accord’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Honda Accord Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2004 Honda Accord’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2004 Honda Accord shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Honda Accord shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2004 Honda Accord suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2004 Honda Accord Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Accord's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Honda Accord? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Honda intended.
  • When should I have my Honda Accord power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Accord is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Honda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Honda Accord bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Accord front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Accord when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Honda Accord shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Accord feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Accord travels over minor bumps.
