When To Get 2014 Honda Fit Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2014 Honda Fit, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Fit jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 Honda Fit in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Fit suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Honda Fit’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Honda Fit Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2014 Honda Fit’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Honda Fit shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Honda Fit shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 Honda Fit’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2014 Fit Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Honda's 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 Fit 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. 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.
  • When does Honda Fit 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 Fit is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Honda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Honda Fit to have a bouncy ride? 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 Fit front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Fit'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 do worn Honda Fit shocks feel like? Worn Fit shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Fit might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Fit shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
