my Honda Accord feels bouncy while driving what causes this

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.
• Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, socket set, torque wrench, suspension strut tool (if applicable).

2. Lift the Vehicle

• Use the jack to lift the front or rear of the vehicle, depending on which suspension components are being serviced.
• Secure the vehicle with jack stands to prevent any accidents.

3. Inspect and Replace Shock Absorbers/Struts

• Inspect: Remove the wheels to access the shock absorbers/struts. Check for oil leaks and physical damage.
• Remove: Unbolt the top and bottom mounts of the shock absorber/strut using the socket set.
• Replace: Install new shock absorbers/struts by reversing the removal steps. Torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.

4. Check and Replace Springs (if necessary)

• Inspect: Look for any signs of wear or breakage in the coil springs.
• Remove: If the springs need replacement, use a spring compressor to safely remove them from the strut assembly.
• Replace: Install new springs and ensure they are seated correctly. Reassemble the strut assembly.

5. Realign the Suspension

• After replacing any components, have the vehicle's alignment checked and adjusted at a professional service center.
