When To Get 2015 Nissan Altima Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2015 Nissan Altima, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Altima jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2015 Nissan Altima, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. 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 Altima steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Nissan Altima Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2015 Nissan Altima suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Nissan up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Altima’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Nissan Altima shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 Nissan Altima’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2015 Nissan Altima Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Altima's steering and 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Nissan Altima? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Altima 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 Altima is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Nissan service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Nissan Altima to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Altima 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Altima to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Altima 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Nissan Altima need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Altima feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Altima travels over minor bumps.
