Does Your 2006 Nissan Frontier Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Nissan Frontier, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Frontier bounces, 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 2006 Nissan Frontier in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Nissan Frontier Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 Nissan Frontier’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Nissan Frontier’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Nissan Frontier shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 Nissan Frontier suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2006 Frontier Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Frontier's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your 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 checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Frontier is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Nissan service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Nissan Frontier to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Nissan Frontier might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Frontier's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Frontier combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Nissan Frontier need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Frontier feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Frontier travels over minor bumps.
