Is It Time For 1998 Honda Prelude Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1998 Honda Prelude, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Prelude feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1998 Honda Prelude in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Prelude 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 Prelude Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 Honda Prelude suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1998 Honda Prelude shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Honda Prelude shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Prelude’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.

Questions About 1998 Honda Prelude Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Prelude's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Honda Prelude 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 come into contact with the road in the way Honda intended.
  • Does my Honda Prelude power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Prelude’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Honda's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Honda Prelude bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Prelude 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.
  • Why does my Prelude tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Prelude'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 Prelude are bad? 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.
