Does Your 2001 Honda Civic Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2001 Honda Civic, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Civic bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2001 Honda Civic, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Civic’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Honda Civic Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Honda Civic suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Civic’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Honda Civic shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 Honda Civic suspension 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 2001 Honda Civic Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Civic's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Honda Civic get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Honda Civic power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Civic’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 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Civic to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Civic's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Honda Civic shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Civic feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Civic travels over minor bumps.
