When To Get 2000 Infiniti Q45 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2000 Infiniti Q45, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Q45 bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2000 Infiniti Q45 in for steering and suspension services. 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, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 your Infiniti Q45’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Infiniti Q45 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Infiniti Q45 suspension system. 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 limit vibration and keep your Infiniti up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2000 Infiniti Q45 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Infiniti Q45 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Q45’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2000 Infiniti Q45 Steering & Suspension

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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. 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 Q45 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Q45 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Infiniti's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Infiniti Q45 bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Infiniti Q45 need replacing? Worn Q45 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.
