Does Your 1985 Nissan 300ZX Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1985 Nissan 300ZX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 300ZX jolts, sways 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 1985 Nissan 300ZX in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, 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 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 300ZX steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Nissan 300ZX Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1985 Nissan 300ZX suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 300ZX’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Nissan 300ZX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 300ZX’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1985 Nissan 300ZX Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 300ZX's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Nissan 300ZX get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Nissan intended.
  • Does my Nissan 300ZX 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Nissan service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Nissan 300ZX bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Nissan 300ZX 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 300ZX tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 300ZX'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 Nissan 300ZX need replacing? Worn 300ZX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 300ZX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 300ZX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
