Does Your 2012 Nissan Armada Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2012 Nissan Armada, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Armada 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 2012 Nissan Armada in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 Armada 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 Armada Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Nissan Armada’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Nissan Armada’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Nissan Armada shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Armada’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2012 Nissan Armada Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Armada's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Nissan Armada? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Nissan intended.
  • When should I have my Nissan Armada power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Armada 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 Armada 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 Armada to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Armada's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Armada 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Nissan Armada shocks? Worn Armada shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Armada might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Armada shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
