Is It Time For 1998 Nissan Frontier Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1998 Nissan Frontier, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Frontier feels bouncy, pulls 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 1998 Nissan Frontier in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Nissan Frontier suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Nissan Frontier

Your 1998 Nissan Frontier’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Frontier’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Nissan Frontier shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Frontier’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1998 Frontier Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Nissan's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Nissan Frontier get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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.
  • Does my Nissan Frontier 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 Frontier’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Nissan Frontier bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Frontier to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Frontier front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Frontier 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 Frontier need replacing? If your Frontier shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Frontier might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
