Does Your 2014 Honda Ridgeline Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2014 Honda Ridgeline, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Ridgeline jolts, leans 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 2014 Honda Ridgeline in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Ridgeline suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Honda Ridgeline suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Honda Ridgeline

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Honda Ridgeline suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 Ridgeline’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Honda Ridgeline shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2014 Honda Ridgeline’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 Ridgeline Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Ridgeline's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Honda Ridgeline? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Honda intended.
  • Does my Honda Ridgeline power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Ridgeline is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Honda's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Honda Ridgeline bouncing excessively? 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? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Honda Ridgeline need replacing? Worn Ridgeline shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
