  1. Vendor Spotlight! Great Deals for Members
    One of the biggest, most significant shifts in automotive suspension systems over the past several decades has been the explosion in popularity of high-tech active suspensions. From air springs to active and adaptive electronic dampers, to shocks with magnetic ride control, modern automotive...
  2. Sounds & Noises
    I have a new type s. Curious if others are wondering or understanding a noise coming from the air suspension. I mostly drive in normal mode. When I park and exit the vehicle, after a few seconds I hear a buzzing noise and observe the front end lowering. The buzzing stops after a few seconds. I...
  3. Third Generation MDX (2014-2020)
    I have a 2015 MDX Advance SHAWD. While doing a brake job to replace pads that the repair shops could not diagnose after multiple times asking, I noticed what appears to be damage in the lower control arm ball joints. The struts were replaced by the repair shops about a year ago. I suspect the...
  4. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    Hey all, I’m new here and honestly am not very knowledgeable about vehicles and stuff. My 2012 MDX has the active damper system and it was overall wearing out… brought it to a mechanic and was quoted at over 5,000 for new struts and shocks. Is this reasonable? I was looking online at parts and...
  5. First Generation MDX (2001-2006)
    Hello! I've got an 02 MDX touring with 206k miles. By the feel of it, time for new shocks. Then I figured, well maybe I ought to replace some of the other components while they're easier to get to even though they're working fine for now. The list below is what I'm planning to do. Any...
  6. MDX FAQ
    I'm new here and not a DIYer. Bought my 2017 MDX, Advance Package, new. It used to ride much better. I traverse a lot of potholes and dips each day getting my kids to school. I'm ready to invest in something to make my ride better (accustomed to Lexus ride). I drive in comfort mode 100% of the...
  7. First Generation MDX (2001-2006)
    Hi world, I'm doing shocks and struts on my 06 X. In the front I decided to go with duralst assembled from Autozone. I already did the rear shocks, but need to do the rear coil springs. The reason I did not go OEM was 1. Car is old with 173,000 miles. 2. Price 3. I do not plan on having this car...
  8. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    Hey guys, I need some help removing the bolt from the bottom of the rear stabilizer link. The link itself has broken off long ago leaving just the bolts. The bolts are so rusted that all do is spin when I try to unscrew the nut. I was able to cut the top bolt but the lower bolt is difficult to...
  9. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    Has anyone used or know anything about these two replacement suspension systems? They are only a fraction of the cost of replacing with OEM but are still pricy. They both replace the Advance electronic system and include an electronic bypass module so there are no warning light. These are...
  10. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    I have a 2008 Sport that had the electronic suspension. Now I've got the the front and rear struts replaced with the non-electronic version. Just discovered that I have one rear coil spring that had rusted and snapped off. Looking at Rockauto, it lists the MOOG rear Sport Suspension as being...
  11. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    2012 MDX that I took in for the timing belt. They did some work on the front suspension, parts were worn out and making a "clunk" when going over bumps. Fixes were fine and it is a great garage. But afterwards we have noticed that the car does not feel a smooth especially over bumps...
  12. Second Generation MDX (2007-2013)
    I am looking at a 2012 MDX Advance, after test driving the car, I can feel the clunkiness in the suspension while driving and going over bumps. My question is, who has replaced the Advance suspension with regular suspension? I keep seeing Strutmasters as an option, anyone who has used them...

    Hey Everyone, I found a few threads on this topic but they are quite a bit old and am looking for some newer info on below: 2014 MDX Elite - 75K km I took my car into crappy tire for an inspection - (for uber) and was told that my right front passenger shock is leaking (I did see the entire...
