You love your Acura RDX for its smooth ride and sporty handling. But over time, suspension issues can creep in and take that smoothness away. Daly City drivers, are you feeling every bump in the road? Maybe your Acura’s suspension is letting you down. At M & R Auto in Menlo Park, we know how to fix these problems and get your RDX back to riding like new. Let’s talk about the five most common suspension issues in the Acura RDX and, more importantly, how we fix them.
1. Worn Shock Absorbers (2007-2012 Models)
Shocks are supposed to cushion your ride, but if your RDX is bouncing like a pogo stick, your shock absorbers might be shot. Acura RDX models from 2007 to 2012 are notorious for this. Worn shocks lead to rough rides, poor handling, and uneven tire wear.
How We Fix It: We swap out your tired old shocks with high-quality, OEM-grade replacements that restore your Acura’s smooth handling and precise control. At M & R Auto, we make sure every shock is installed with precision, so your ride feels as comfortable as it did the day you bought it. How’s your ride feeling lately?
2. Sagging Coil Springs (2013-2018 Models)
Your RDX should sit tall and confident, but if it’s sagging in the rear, your coil springs might be the issue. Acura RDX models from 2013 to 2018 can suffer from weak or broken coil springs, especially when they’ve carried heavy loads over time. This leads to a lower ride height, and you might even hear scraping noises over bumps.
How We Fix It: We replace sagging or broken coil springs with stronger, more durable parts that return your Acura’s suspension to its original height. At M & R Auto, we ensure your RDX is balanced, stable, and ready to take on the road again. Is your RDX sagging? Let’s fix that.
3. Failing Sway Bar Links (2007-2020 Models)
Acura RDX models from 2007 to 2020 are prone to sway bar link failure. These little components help keep your vehicle stable through corners. When they fail, you’ll notice more body roll during turns and maybe even hear clunking noises.
How We Fix It: Our technicians replace the worn-out links with new ones that tighten up your suspension. We check the entire sway bar system for wear, ensuring everything works together to keep your RDX stable and responsive. Heard any strange noises lately?
4. Worn Control Arm Bushings (2013-2020 Models)
Control arm bushings are like shock absorbers for your suspension’s movement. Over time, in 2013-2020 Acura RDX models, these bushings can wear out or crack. You’ll feel extra vibrations, poor handling, and potentially even misaligned wheels.
How We Fix It: We replace the old bushings with tough, high-quality parts that get rid of the vibrations and improve your handling. We also inspect the control arms themselves to ensure your wheels stay aligned. Ready for a smoother drive?
5. Strut Mount Problems (2019-Present Models)
If your 2019 or newer Acura RDX makes clunking noises when you drive over bumps, you might be dealing with strut mount failure. Strut mounts help cushion the strut’s connection to the vehicle, and when they go bad, you’ll feel every bump in the road.
How We Fix It: We replace damaged strut mounts with durable replacements that restore your RDX’s smoothness. At M & R Auto, we check the entire strut assembly and alignment, making sure everything is back to factory specs. Heard any clunks recently?
