Is It Time For 2009 Nissan Frontier Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2009 Nissan Frontier, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Frontier feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Nissan Frontier 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 dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Frontier suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Nissan Frontier’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Nissan Frontier

Your 2009 Nissan Frontier’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2009 Nissan Frontier’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Nissan Frontier shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Nissan Frontier’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 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. 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 Frontier power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Frontier’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Nissan Frontier to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Frontier 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Frontier to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • 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.
