Does Your 2016 Honda CR-Z Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2016 Honda CR-Z, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your CR-Z bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Honda CR-Z 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 dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your CR-Z steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Honda CR-Z Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Honda CR-Z 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 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 CR-Z’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Honda CR-Z shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your CR-Z’s 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.

2016 CR-Z Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CR-Z's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 CR-Z 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Honda CR-Z power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your CR-Z is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Honda service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Honda CR-Z bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your CR-Z 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-Z's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your CR-Z's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Honda CR-Z need replacing? Worn CR-Z shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CR-Z might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CR-Z shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
