Honda Prelude Shocks & Struts

A shock absorber is one of the cornerstones that the suspension of your car is built upon. The function of this device is to transform the kinetic energy appearing when the wheel hits an obstacle into heat. In such a way, the shock dampens spring oscillations that would otherwise result in uncontrollable body movement. “Uncontrollable” is not a sort of word you want to use while describing your driving experience, especially if you own a high-revving, fun-to-drive sports coupe like a Honda Prelude. For that reason, you should consider the problem with shocks as a serious one. Without these devices working properly, your Honda would bounce like a tennis ball every time it hits a bumpy road.

Why the lifespan of shocks is limited is because they all have one weak point whose addressing is technologically difficult. Shocks do their job with the help of oil flowing through various holes and channels inside the tube. Sure enough, the liquid must be held inside to make that possible. Serving this aim, the seal between the piston and the cylinder encounters massive pressure. And that’s where the problem comes from. Eventually, it starts to leak making shocks pretty much useless. You can diagnose that visually - oily streaks are a clear indicator. With our Honda Prelude shocks & struts, you will be able to fix that the most reasonable way possible.
