When To Get 1996 Honda Odyssey Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1996 Honda Odyssey, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Odyssey bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1996 Honda Odyssey in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Odyssey steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Honda Odyssey Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1996 Honda Odyssey’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 getting your 1996 Honda Odyssey’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Honda Odyssey shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1996 Honda Odyssey’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.

1996 Odyssey Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Honda's 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Honda Odyssey? 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 Odyssey 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 Odyssey’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Honda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Honda Odyssey bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Odyssey to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Odyssey tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Odyssey'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 Odyssey need replacing? Worn Odyssey shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Odyssey might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Odyssey shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
