What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Infiniti's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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.

Why should my Infiniti QX80 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 connect with the road how Infiniti intended.

Does my Infiniti QX80 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 QX80 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Infiniti service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why does my Infiniti QX80 bounce so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

Why does my QX80's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your QX80 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

How do I know if I have worn Infiniti QX80 shocks?

Worn QX80 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your QX80 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your QX80 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Does Your 2018 Infiniti QX80 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2018 Infiniti QX80, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your QX80 bounces, drifts 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 2018 Infiniti QX80, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Infiniti QX80 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Infiniti QX80

Your 2018 Infiniti QX80’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2018 Infiniti QX80 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Infiniti QX80 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Infiniti QX80 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.
