I have a 2012 TSX Special Edition and is it normal to have a bouncy ride? it only happens when I'm on the highway going highway speed and i come across a wavy patch of asphalt or concrete road way, the car now has 2600 mile and is this normal? I know it has a stiff suspension but my 2003 TL type s was not like this and my 2005 RL didn't either and on my 2012 Audi A3 does not bounce up and down like the TSX.

The bounce on the TSX feels like a half inch of movement.


Thanks

 

First off "bouncy" really isn't an accurate description of how the car rides. Is the suspenion to soft/hard? Bouncy doesn't really help to to assist in fixing the problem. Sounds like the suspension might be a little hard for you since you said you notice it on uneven roadway. However most stock suspension other than stock "tuned" suspension will be somewhat "bouncy" over uneven roadway. Try some aftermarket coils or shocks and springs should clear that up.

 

yea with tl swag no clue what your talking about if you think this suspension is bad aparenlty you have never been in an accord

 

Thanks for the reply the suspension is very hard but in a year or two i might replace them with new coil and shock

 

I just wanted to know if it was normal or if i had a bad shock/strut on the car

 

oh and its on my 2012 TSX not on the 2003 TLs

 

The only way to tell if it is bad it take off the car, notice any leaks?

 

I have a 12 SE and it feels very soft. So soft that when I am doing 80mph any little gust of wind pushes my car like nothing. One thing that helped me was to deflate my tires to 34 psi. The dealer has me at 43. It doesnt feel like im driving in rain on a sunny day anymore... eather way the car rides like that so your going to need new suspension because Yes it does feel bouncy as hell. My dads 12 Civic handels more nimble. Hope this helped.
