Suspensão Dianteira e Direção Eibach para Honda Prelude

Eibach Front Car & Truck Suspension & Steering for Honda Prelude

The Prelude is a two-door sports coupe that Honda manufactured in five generations from 1978 to 2001. With a curb weight that increased over the generations from 900 kg to above 1300 kg, the handling and ride characteristics with the four-speed automatic and five-speed manual transmission required a capable suspension. In this product category you will find Eibach springs and other parts and kits associated with the steering wheel and suspension systems of the Honda Prelude, with applicability charts to ensure that the part fits your Prelude.

The suspension system of any car is broadly defined as the tires, tire air, springs, shock absorbers, and parts that connect a car to its wheels. The system is designed to optimize road handling and ride quality as much as possible for your Honda.

The system on Honda Preludes varies according to generation and type. For the fifth generation, Honda put in an independent front suspension system, while the Type S and USDM Type SH had an overhauled front system. For the Motegi special edition, Honda put in a lowered sports system.

Suspension springs work in coordination with the shocks and smooth out the vehicle ride by compression under force and expansion on release. The degree of ride comfort depends on the spring rate, which is calculated to compensate for weight and load. Deviation from the calculated load will result in a bumpier than usual ride. Badly worn or otherwise affected springs do not have proper deflection and cause the car to ride lower to the ground, as well as reduce ride quality. Ordering kits to replace the parts is recommended.

The steering wheel system on the Honda Prelude consists of a wheel, column, universal joints, and parts that enable the driver to turn the wheels of the car, thereby directing it. Most Honda Preludes have power steering wheels as standard, but there is a European base model that does not come so equipped. First and second generation Preludes have only front-wheel steering, but four-wheel steering was offered as an option in the third generation Prelude. In the fourth generation Prelude, an electronic four-wheel steering wheel system was introduced.

The rack-and-pinion gears convert rotational motion into linear motion. The pinion is a circular gear and the rack resembles a bar. The pinion fits on top of the rack. In the steering wheel system, when the driver turns the wheel, the pinion turns at the other end of the wheel column and its gears mesh with those on the rack, which causes the rack to move in response. When purchasing parts and kits for your Honda Prelude, always verify that model and year are applicable so that the part fits, especially for rack-and-pinion gear kits.
