When To Get 2018 Honda Fit Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2018 Honda Fit, 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 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 2018 Honda Fit in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Fit suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Honda Fit’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Honda up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Honda Fit’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Honda Fit shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Honda Fit’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2018 Fit Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Honda Fit? 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 Fit power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Fit is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Honda's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Honda Fit bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Honda Fit 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 Fit's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Fit combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Honda Fit need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Fit feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Fit travels over minor bumps.
