Suspension Repair FAQ
1) How do I know if my Honda needs new struts or shocks?
If the ride is bouncy, you hear clunks, or you see uneven tire wear or fluid on the strut body, it’s time for an inspection. We’ll road-test and check for leaks and play before recommending parts.
2) Do I need an alignment after suspension work?
Yes. Any change to struts, control arms, or tie rods affects alignment. We align your Honda to spec (or custom settings if requested) to protect tires and restore handling.
3) OEM vs aftermarket—what’s best for my Honda?
OEM is great for factory feel and longevity. Premium aftermarket can improve performance or value. We present both so you can choose based on ride quality, warranty, and budget.
4) How long does a suspension repair take?
Most shock/strut and control-arm jobs are completed same day with a scheduled appointment. Complex rusted hardware or specialty parts may add time—we’ll confirm up front.
5) Will worn suspension affect braking and tire life?
Absolutely. Weak struts increase stopping distance and cause uneven tire wear. Fixing suspension issues and aligning afterward saves money and improves safety.
Potholes and rough road surfaces don’t just make for a bad ride, they can affect the alignment of your wheels.
Misaligned wheels can cause a host of problems, including uneven tire wear.
Proper wheel alignment helps your tires last longer, improves gas mileage, and provides safer handling.
When it comes to absorbing the shocks of the road, you’d think the shock absorbers would take care of everything.
Actually, coil or leaf springs handle the abuse of the road. Your shock absorbers handle the abuse caused by the rebound of the springs.
They both work together to keep your vehicle under control.
