Frequently Asked Questions About Struts & Suspension
How long do struts last on a Honda or Acura?
Most struts last around 80,000 to 120,000 miles depending on driving conditions.
What are the signs of bad struts?
Common symptoms include bouncing, clunking noises, uneven tire wear, poor braking stability, and feeling every bump in the road.
Do all four struts need to be replaced at once?
We recommend replacing them in pairs (both fronts or both rears) to maintain proper balance and handling.
Can bad suspension damage my tires?
Yes. Worn suspension components can cause cupping, uneven tread wear, and premature tire failure.
Do you use OEM-quality suspension parts?
Yes. We use high-quality OEM or OEM-equivalent components. Genuine Honda or Acura parts can be used if requested.
How long does strut replacement take?
Most strut replacements can be completed the same day.
