When To Get 2014 Honda Pilot Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2014 Honda Pilot, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Pilot feels bouncy, drifts 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 2014 Honda Pilot in for suspension and steering service. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, 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 parts of your Honda Pilot suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Honda Pilot Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2014 Honda Pilot’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Pilot’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Honda Pilot shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 Honda Pilot’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2014 Pilot Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Honda Pilot? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Honda Pilot power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Pilot’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Honda's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Honda Pilot to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Honda Pilot 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 Pilot's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Pilot when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Honda Pilot shocks feel like? Worn Pilot shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Pilot might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Pilot shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
