Honda CRV Suspension Components
The Honda CR-V utilizes both shocks and struts in its suspension system. Shocks and struts play different but complementary roles in the suspension system. Shocks are responsible for controlling the up-and-down motion of the vehicle, while struts are a structural part of the suspension system and also serve as a shock absorber. They are essential for maintaining control and stability, especially on uneven terrain and bumpy roads.

What suspension does Honda use?
Honda’s dual axis strut suspension separates knuckles and dampers, increasing steering axis flexibility, thus solving the problems of conventional strut suspension.
How can I tell if I have shocks or struts?
If your vehicle has shocks, you will likely find them mounted vertically behind the tires. In many cases, shocks will look like a spring or pump. Struts, on the other hand, are usually mounted horizontally and will appear as an extension of the wheel.
How long does Honda suspension last?
50,000 to 100,000 miles
While the longevity of a suspension system can vary based on many factors, including driving habits or road conditions, it typically lasts for 50,000 to 100,000 miles. For many drivers, it’s time to replace the suspension system’s shocks or struts after seven or eight years of use.

Does a Honda CRV have struts?
The CR-V suspension handles turns and bumps with ease. There is very little body roll or tire noise around sharp turns. In front, a MacPherson strut suspension is tuned for excellent ride comfort and driving feel.
How do I know if my car needs shocks or struts?
If your vehicle dives when braking, bottoms out (scrapes loudly) when going over a speed bump, the rear-end squats when accelerating, or your vehicle bounces more than usual after going over a bump, it could be signs of bad shocks or struts.
Should I replace the struts or just the shock?
Finally, replace your struts and shocks in pairs
Shocks and struts should always be replaced in pairs or, better yet, all four, for even, predictable handling and control. After all, all four have been on the vehicle for the same number of miles and worked under the same conditions.
