Is It Time For 2012 Honda Odyssey Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2012 Honda Odyssey, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Odyssey feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2012 Honda Odyssey, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Odyssey 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 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2012 Honda Odyssey’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. 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 Odyssey’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Honda Odyssey shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Odyssey’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2012 Odyssey Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Honda's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Honda Odyssey 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Honda intended.
  • When does Honda Odyssey power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Odyssey is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Honda's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Honda Odyssey bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Honda Odyssey 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 Odyssey's nose dive down 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Honda Odyssey are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Odyssey feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Odyssey travels over minor bumps.
