Case Study - 2008 Honda Odyssey (Front/Rear)
- Product: DuraTPE® (Size B) Buffers on the Front and Rear Coil Springs
- Special Notations: Cutting the Buffer to match precise specification
For this case, the customer installed the (size B) DuraTPE® Buffers on both the front and rear coil springs of a 2008 Honda Odyssey.
The Buffer was a touch high for the (H1) spring coil spacing measurement for the front tires. This is a case where it is best to cut the inside ring on top and bottom of the buffer grooves. This will increase the vehicle ground clearance by about 0.6” (approx. 15mm) (Click on image to view larger) |
The 2008 Honda Odyssey is an older design that uses a double double-wishbone suspension for the rear wheels. This will make the installation much more difficult to perform. In a situation such as this, it’s highly advisable that the installer remove the rear tires so that there will be better access to the coil springs.
