Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Honda's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Passport get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 Passport 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Honda's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why is my Honda Passport bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Passport goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.

What can cause the front end of my Passport to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Passport'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 do I know if I have worn Honda Passport shocks?

Worn Passport shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Does Your 1998 Honda Passport Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1998 Honda Passport, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Passport bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1998 Honda Passport in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Honda Passport’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 Passport Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Honda Passport suspension system. 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 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 Passport’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Honda Passport shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1998 Honda Passport suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
