When To Get 2003 Nissan 350Z Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2003 Nissan 350Z, 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 350Z jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2003 Nissan 350Z 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 350Z 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 Nissan 350Z’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 Nissan 350Z

Your 2003 Nissan 350Z’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2003 Nissan 350Z’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Nissan 350Z shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 350Z’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2003 Nissan 350Z Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 350Z's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Nissan 350Z? 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 connect with the road how Nissan intended.
  • When does Nissan 350Z power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 350Z is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Nissan 350Z bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 350Z to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 350Z's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 350Z 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 do worn Nissan 350Z shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 350Z feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 350Z travels over minor bumps.
