6/29/2010 ChiekotzHmmm....new shocks, springs...check your bushings (control arm) and your ball joints as well, check for loose suspension components.

How do I fix power steering fluid leak?Kaye - 1998 Honda CR-V - Steering & Suspension - 6/29/2010Hoses are all good but still loosing fluid. We have to put fluid in a couple times a week depending on the kind of driving we do...If we are on bumpy roads it seems to leak faster so we carry fluid with us at all times.
-
6/29/2010 RockShoxYou sure about the hose even with the hose near the Rack assembly? Your Rack assembly could be leaking fluids too via its oil seals on the moving shafts.

Turn signal light blink too fast occasionallyZujiao Fu - 1997 Honda Civic - Steering & Suspension - 6/9/2010I found the left turn signal light blink too fast for a couple days. When I beat the surface of the left front turn light, it works fine. Then I changed the left front bulb. It looks working good in the most time, but then the left turn signal light blinks too fast ...
-
6/9/2010 HouseCallAutoThere likely is a problem with the fit of the bulbs in the sockets for the turn signals either in front or back. When they blink fast it means that at least one of the bulbs on the side that is blinking fast is not blinking either in front or back, you have to look. Then you could hit a bump and its OK again.

Why does my car shake when it gets to 55 and stops shaking when it pasts 65?sam vanhkham - 2004 Honda Accord - Steering & Suspension - 6/9/2010i have had a tune up, a tire balance, and got new tires.
-
6/9/2010 HouseCallAutoAre you saying that this problem is the same as it was BEFORE you got new tires? Were all the tires changed?
-
6/9/2010 sam vanhkhamyes all the tires were changed a friend recommended a tire balance at first but nit didnt help and then said to change the tires. i also had a tune up done and it seems to be the same.
-
6/9/2010 HouseCallAutoI think you have a bent wheel / rim or there is something very worn in the front suspension or steering linkage. The front end needs a look by an experienced mechanic so that there is focus on a real answer for your shaking and not just selling you a bunch of front end parts because you asked to have it checked. (that happens alot)

6/3/2010 testdrivePlease have the shocks and springs inspected, you might have a worn out set and another thing to consider is the bushings.

My car was hit in the front, the wheel is now 2" further back in the wheel well. what could be bent on the suspension ??tom - 1997 Honda Civic - Steering & Suspension - 5/28/2010car moves, wondering if any subframe damage, or if it most likely is bent suspension. I am afraid the mounting points of suspension may be damaged , hence subframe. how can i tell>>
-
5/28/2010 jefftg53this is called setback and could be caused by different things based on the type of suspension on your vehicle. The parts most often damaged will be suspension, steering or axle.

ratcheting noise when turning left or rightjuan - 2004 Honda CR-V - Steering & Suspension - 5/21/2010My 2004 crv makes a ratcheting noise when turning left or right specially on tight turns,the CV joint boots are intact and I checked the wheel bearings for play,they are good. any solutions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
-
5/21/2010 HouseCallAutoThis is a common problem on CR-V that even I have encountered once. The front differential (probably the rear too) needs to have the oil drained and refilled and have an additive as well. These service parts MUST come from Honda only. The clutches within the differential are making the noises. The oil and additive will solve it.
5/21/2010 juanthank you very much, I will try it.
