How do you remove a strut?

To remove the strut, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and remove the wheel. Disconnect the stabilizer bar link and brake hose bracket from the strut. Detach the ABS speed sensor wiring harness and remove the strut-to-knuckle nuts and bolts. Separate the strut from the steering knuckle and remove the strut and spring assembly. Mark the struts as left or right if both are being removed. Inspect the strut for damage and the coil spring for chips or cracks. If issues are found, disassemble the strut. To install, guide the assembly into the fender well and secure with nuts. Reattach the brake hose bracket, speed sensor wiring harness bracket, and stabilizer link.

How to disassemble and reassemble a strut and coil spring assembly?

If your struts or coil springs show wear, consider all options before starting work. Strut assemblies can't be serviced and must be replaced if faulty. You may find complete strut assemblies on an exchange basis, saving time and effort. Before disassembly, check part costs and availability. Remove the strut and spring assembly, mount it in a vise, and use a spring compressor to relieve pressure. Unscrew the thrust bearing retaining nut and remove the upper mount. Inspect the bearing and rubber mount for damage and replace if needed. Remove the upper spring seat and insulator, checking for damage. Lift the compressed spring from the assembly. Remove the dust cover plate and dust cover, then slide off the rubber bump stop and check for deterioration. To reassemble, extend the damper rod and install the rubber bump stop, dust cover, and dust cover plate. Place the compressed coil spring onto the lower seat of the damper, install the upper insulator and spring seat, followed by the bearing and suspension support. Install the washer and nut, tighten it, remove the spring compressor tool and install the strut/spring assembly.

The Shock Absorber of Acura MDX cars relates to the suspension mechanism of cars and it is operated with the assistance of struts. In other words, through the conversion of kinetic energy to heat, the Shock Absorber aids in the shock impulses' absorption and damping, which lessens the effects of the ground surface irregularities on the vehicle. Acura MDX Shock Absorbers dispenses with too much movement to and from the suspension, thus providing a better ride feel and control. Throughout the years, there have been a twin-tube type Shock Absorber and a mono-tube type Shock Absorber being incorporated on MDX vehicles, with these both utilizing different methods of hydraulic fluid control and improving the vehicle's characteristics during certain dynamic usages. To further explain, PSD and ASD fine tunes the Shock Absorber's movements relative to given driving conditions, whereas electrorheological and magnetorheological dampers can be classified under semi-active and adaptive suspension systems, which improves comfort and control depending on the situation.

We provide a broad range of OEM Acura MDX Shock Absorber at unbeatable prices on our website. For your OEM parts, You can count on the guaranteed quality, manufacturer's warranty, outstanding customer service, and prompt delivery. We look forward to your visit.
