Is It Time For 2018 Honda Accord Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2018 Honda Accord, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Accord feels bouncy, sways 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 2018 Honda Accord in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Honda Accord 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 Honda up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2018 Honda Accord shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Honda Accord shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Accord’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.

Questions About 2018 Honda Accord Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Honda's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Honda Accord power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Accord’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Honda's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Honda Accord to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Honda Accord might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Accord's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Honda Accord are bad? 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.
