When To Get 2003 Infiniti FX45 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2003 Infiniti FX45, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your FX45 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Infiniti FX45 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your FX45 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Infiniti FX45 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 Infiniti FX45’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Infiniti FX45’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Infiniti FX45 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2003 Infiniti FX45’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2003 FX45 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Infiniti's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Infiniti FX45 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Infiniti intended.
  • When should I have my Infiniti FX45 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Infiniti's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Infiniti FX45 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your FX45 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my FX45 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your FX45 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Infiniti FX45 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your FX45 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your FX45 travels over minor bumps.
