Does Your 2019 Honda Ridgeline Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2019 Honda Ridgeline, 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 Ridgeline feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2019 Honda Ridgeline 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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 your Ridgeline steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Honda Ridgeline Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2019 Honda Ridgeline’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Ridgeline’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Honda Ridgeline shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2019 Honda Ridgeline’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2019 Honda Ridgeline Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Honda's 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Honda Ridgeline? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Honda Ridgeline 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 Ridgeline is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Honda service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Honda Ridgeline bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Ridgeline 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 Ridgeline's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Ridgeline'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 Ridgeline are bad? If your Ridgeline shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Ridgeline might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
