When To Get 2005 Honda CR-V Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2005 Honda CR-V, 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 CR-V bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Honda CR-V, bring it 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Honda CR-V suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Honda CR-V Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2005 Honda CR-V’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 getting your 2005 Honda CR-V’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Honda CR-V shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Honda CR-V suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2005 CR-V Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CR-V'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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Honda CR-V? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Honda intended.
  • Does my Honda CR-V power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your CR-V’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Honda's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Honda CR-V bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your CR-V goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my CR-V's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your CR-V 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 CR-V are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your CR-V feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your CR-V travels over minor bumps.
