Is It Time For 2018 Nissan Frontier Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2018 Nissan Frontier, 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 Frontier jolts, leans 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 2018 Nissan Frontier in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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

Your 2018 Nissan Frontier’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Nissan up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2018 Nissan Frontier shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Nissan Frontier shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Nissan Frontier’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 Frontier Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Frontier's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 should my Nissan Frontier get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Nissan intended.
  • 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 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's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Nissan Frontier are bad? 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.
