When To Get 2012 Infiniti FX50 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2012 Infiniti FX50, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your FX50 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 Infiniti FX50 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your FX50 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Infiniti FX50

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Infiniti FX50’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Infiniti up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2012 Infiniti FX50 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Infiniti FX50 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Infiniti FX50 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2012 FX50 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my FX50's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Infiniti FX50? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • When should I have my Infiniti FX50 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your FX50 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Infiniti's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Infiniti FX50 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your FX50 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my FX50 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your FX50's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Infiniti FX50 are bad? If your FX50 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your FX50 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
