Is It Time For 2009 Honda Ridgeline Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2009 Honda Ridgeline, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Ridgeline bounces, pulls 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 2009 Honda Ridgeline in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Honda Ridgeline’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Honda Ridgeline Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Honda Ridgeline’s suspension. 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 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 Ridgeline’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Honda Ridgeline shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Honda Ridgeline suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Honda Ridgeline Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 Ridgeline 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. 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.
  • Does my Honda Ridgeline 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 Ridgeline’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Honda service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Honda Ridgeline bounce 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 Ridgeline's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Ridgeline 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Honda Ridgeline shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Ridgeline feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Ridgeline travels over minor bumps.
