Does Your 1994 Nissan D21 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1994 Nissan D21, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your D21 bounces, leans 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 1994 Nissan D21, 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your D21 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Nissan D21’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.

Nissan D21 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1994 Nissan D21’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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1994 Nissan D21’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Nissan D21 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1994 Nissan D21’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1994 D21 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 D21? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Nissan D21 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your D21 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Nissan D21 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your D21 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.
  • Why does my D21 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your D21 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 D21 need replacing? Worn D21 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your D21 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your D21 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
