When To Get 1984 Honda Prelude Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1984 Honda Prelude, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Prelude bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1984 Honda Prelude, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Prelude 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 Honda Prelude’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Honda Prelude Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1984 Honda Prelude suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 Prelude’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Honda Prelude shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1984 Honda Prelude suspension 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.

1984 Prelude Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Prelude's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 should my Honda Prelude get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Honda Prelude 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Honda's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Honda Prelude bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Prelude's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Prelude combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Honda Prelude shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Prelude feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Prelude travels over minor bumps.
