Does Your 2006 Infiniti M45 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2006 Infiniti M45, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your M45 bounces, pulls 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 2006 Infiniti M45 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your M45 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Infiniti M45 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Infiniti M45 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Infiniti up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your M45’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Infiniti M45 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Infiniti M45 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2006 M45 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Infiniti's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Infiniti M45? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Infiniti M45 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your M45’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Infiniti service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Infiniti M45 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Infiniti M45 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 M45 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your M45'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Infiniti M45 need replacing? Worn M45 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
