Is It Time For 2003 Nissan Frontier Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2003 Nissan Frontier, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Frontier feels bouncy, sways 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 2003 Nissan Frontier, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Frontier suspension system needs repair, 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 Frontier 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 Frontier Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2003 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. 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 2003 Nissan Frontier shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Nissan Frontier shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Nissan Frontier suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2003 Nissan Frontier Steering & Suspension

  • 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. 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 Frontier? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Nissan Frontier power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Frontier is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Nissan's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Nissan Frontier bouncing excessively? 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Frontier to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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? Worn Frontier shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Frontier might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Frontier shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
