Is It Time For 1996 Infiniti Q45 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1996 Infiniti Q45, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Q45 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1996 Infiniti Q45 in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Q45 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 Q45 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1996 Infiniti Q45 suspension system. 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 1996 Infiniti Q45 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Infiniti Q45 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1996 Infiniti Q45 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 1996 Infiniti Q45 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Q45's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Infiniti Q45? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Infiniti intended.
  • When does Infiniti Q45 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Infiniti's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Infiniti Q45 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Infiniti Q45 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Q45 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Q45'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 do I know if I have worn Infiniti Q45 shocks? Worn Q45 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Q45 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Q45 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
