Is It Time For 2018 Honda Clarity Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 Honda Clarity, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Clarity feels bouncy, leans 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 Clarity in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Honda Clarity 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 Clarity Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2018 Honda Clarity’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2018 Honda Clarity shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Honda Clarity shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Honda Clarity suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2018 Honda Clarity Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Honda's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Clarity? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Honda intended.
  • When should I have my Honda Clarity power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Clarity is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Honda's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Honda Clarity bouncing excessively? 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 Clarity's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Clarity 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Honda Clarity need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Clarity feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Clarity travels over minor bumps.
