Research on Struts for Honda Civic

Although repairs on imported vehicles can be notoriously expensive, replacement of Honda Civic struts are one of the less expensive repairs you'll have to have done while you own your vehicle. And you will have to replace them, eventually - this is a component that invariably wears out before the odometer hits 100,000 miles. It's part of regular maintenance and upkeep. Normally nimble and sure-footed, when your Civic starts to ride and handle more like your great-grandfather's old farm truck than a sporty little sedan, it's a good indication that the time has come for Honda Civic struts replacement.

Worn Struts - Indications and Symptoms

Under normal circumstances, your Honda Civic should provide you with a smooth, comfortable ride, and handle like a champ. However, when you start feeling every tiny bump in the road and the steering wheel becomes less than responsive, it's a good indication that it's time to switch out the old Honda Civic struts and shocks. You may also want to do an inspection underneath the vehicle. If you notice those Honda Civic struts leaking, that is an early warning sign that those parts have outlived their usefulness. While it may seem like a small thing, the fact is that worn struts and shocks cause more than just an uncomfortable ride; they can also lead to vehicle damage that can eventually compromise vehicle safety.

Honda Civic Struts Replacement Cost

Keep in mind that when one strut starts to go, the one on the other side of the vehicle is probably starting to go as well - so they should always be replaced in pairs. If you can do this yourself, you'll save a substantial chunk of change, since auto shops charge as much as $90 an hour these days. The strut assembly itself (which comes with the shock absorber) can range in price from under $50 to well over $350, depending on how old the vehicle is and what type of struts you buy. For example, 1996 - 2000 Honda Civic struts can be purchased at PartsGeek.com for $47.49 apiece. On the upper end, if you have a newer vehicle and go for EK coilovers, you'll pay $369 for a set of four.

When You Should Inspect and Replace Struts

Based on consumer reports, front Honda Civic struts and shocks start leaking fluid at around 100,000 miles. Most auto experts recommend that most vehicles get new struts and shocks around that time in any event. Sometimes, a strut may wear out as soon as 50,000 or earlier if the part is defective. In this case, it may be covered by warranty, so it's worth checking out.
