hello all!

Recently i noticed that my rear passenger strut started leaking so i need to replace it ASAP. Since this is a pricey strut, can i just replace the faulty one or is it recommendable to replace them in pair? 60k miles.


Thanks in advance!

 

Always in pairs, man...
I just had to do it on my Caddy too.
Annoying!

 

Well it's gonna be annoying to me too lol! oh well....Thanks!

 

 

What year is your ZDX? Because there is a warranty extension on the 2010-2012 ZDX front and rear active dampers.

 

Its the 2010 model, where can i get more information about this?

 

Ive been reading in other forums about MDX owners swapping from IDS to regular shocks sucessfully (2007 - 2013) but i cannot find anything for the ZDX. can this be done?. anyone has tried this?

 

MOST of the time, Honda shares parts across the lineup.
does the ZDX have normal shocks(non-ids)?

 

Yes, it has them,for the Base/Tech model.

 

oh shit, thats easy!!! grab a pair of the same year non-IDS shocks!!

 

Nice! i will do that and let you know the results, thanks!

 

JUST to be sure, make sure the mounting points LOOk the same!

 

Allright!

Perfect! i need to check if the VIN is on the eligibility list.

 

If the IDX shock failed, you only have to replace one. If they are normal shocks, I would just replace both.

 

hmmmmm i could save a few bucks if i only buy one. but i think i will be replacing both since i'm thinking to sell the ZDX. and keep the one that's good for a future occasion. thanks for the suggestion.

 

Sounds good man, and why you selling? I would love to have a ZDX honestly.

 

I really dont like the price on the struts. in total it would be like 2000-2500$. just thinking that it could happen again really demotivates me. :/

 

I totally understand. My MDX also has the ADS shocks and they scare me as well. The good news however is that you can install non-ADS shocks and it won't affect anything except maybe a slightly softer ride for a fraction of the cost.

 

i will consider changing to non ADS if i keep the ZDX next time it happens.
