Is It Time For 1999 Infiniti Q45 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1999 Infiniti Q45, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Q45 bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1999 Infiniti Q45 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, 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 parts of your Infiniti Q45 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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 Q45

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Infiniti Q45 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Q45’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Infiniti Q45 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Infiniti Q45’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 Q45 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Infiniti's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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? 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 the tires connect with the road how Infiniti intended.
  • When should I have my Infiniti Q45 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Q45’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Infiniti's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Infiniti Q45 bouncing excessively? 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.
  • Why does my Q45 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Q45 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Infiniti Q45 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Q45 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Q45 travels over minor bumps.
