Does Your 1997 Honda Civic del Sol Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1997 Honda Civic del Sol, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Civic del Sol jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 Honda Civic del Sol in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Civic del Sol suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Honda Civic del Sol suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Honda Civic del Sol Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Honda Civic del Sol suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Honda up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Civic del Sol’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Honda Civic del Sol shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1997 Honda Civic del Sol suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1997 Honda Civic del Sol 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.
  • Why should my Honda Civic del Sol get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • Does my Honda Civic del Sol 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 Civic del Sol’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Honda's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Honda Civic del Sol 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 Civic del Sol to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Civic del Sol tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Civic del Sol 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 Civic del Sol shocks? Worn Civic del Sol shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
