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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

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.

When should I have my Honda Ridgeline power steering fluid 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 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.

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.

What do worn Honda Ridgeline shocks feel like?

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.

Does Your 2021 Honda Ridgeline Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2021 Honda Ridgeline, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. 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. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Honda Ridgeline in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Honda Ridgeline’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Honda up off the ground. 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 an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Honda Ridgeline shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Honda Ridgeline suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.
