When To Get 2009 Infiniti FX50 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2009 Infiniti FX50, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your FX50 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Infiniti FX50, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Infiniti FX50 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Infiniti FX50 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2009 Infiniti FX50’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your FX50’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Infiniti FX50 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Infiniti FX50’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2009 FX50 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Infiniti's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Infiniti FX50? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Infiniti FX50 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your FX50 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Infiniti service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Infiniti FX50 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Infiniti FX50 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my FX50 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your FX50 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Infiniti FX50 are bad? Worn FX50 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your FX50 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your FX50 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
