Does Your 2000 Honda Insight Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2000 Honda Insight, 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 Insight bounces, pulls 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 2000 Honda Insight in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Insight 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 Insight Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2000 Honda Insight’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2000 Honda Insight shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Honda Insight shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 Honda Insight’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2000 Honda Insight Steering & Suspension

  • 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Honda Insight? 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 connect with the road how Honda intended.
  • Does my Honda Insight 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 Insight’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Honda's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Honda Insight bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Insight to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Insight tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Insight'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 Insight need replacing? Worn Insight shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Insight might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Insight shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
