When To Get 2008 Infiniti QX56 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2008 Infiniti QX56, 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 QX56 bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2008 Infiniti QX56, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your QX56 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Infiniti QX56’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 QX56

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Infiniti QX56 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Infiniti QX56’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Infiniti QX56 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Infiniti QX56 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 QX56 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Infiniti's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 should my Infiniti QX56 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Infiniti intended.
  • When does Infiniti QX56 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 QX56 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Infiniti service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Infiniti QX56 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your QX56 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my QX56's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your QX56'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 QX56 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your QX56 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your QX56 travels over minor bumps.
