Does Your 2011 Honda CR-V Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2011 Honda CR-V, 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 CR-V jolts, pulls 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 2011 Honda CR-V, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your CR-V suspension system needs repair, 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 CR-V steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Honda CR-V’s suspension. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Honda CR-V shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Honda CR-V shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 Honda CR-V suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2011 Honda CR-V Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CR-V's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Honda intended.
  • When does Honda CR-V power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Honda's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Honda CR-V to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Honda CR-V 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 CR-V front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Honda CR-V need replacing? Worn CR-V shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CR-V might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CR-V shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
