Is It Time For 2011 Honda Ridgeline Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Honda Ridgeline, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ridgeline jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Honda Ridgeline, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Ridgeline 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 Ridgeline’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 Ridgeline Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 Honda Ridgeline 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 Honda Ridgeline’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Honda Ridgeline shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Ridgeline’s 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.

Questions About 2011 Honda Ridgeline Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Honda's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way 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 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 Ridgeline 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Ridgeline to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Ridgeline 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Honda Ridgeline are bad? Worn Ridgeline shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Ridgeline might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Ridgeline shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
