When To Get 2017 Nissan GT-R Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2017 Nissan GT-R, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your GT-R bounces, 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 2017 Nissan GT-R in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your GT-R suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Nissan GT-R suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Nissan GT-R

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Nissan GT-R’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2017 Nissan GT-R shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Nissan GT-R shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Nissan GT-R’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 GT-R Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 GT-R? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 GT-R 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 GT-R’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Nissan GT-R to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GT-R to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my GT-R front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GT-R's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Nissan GT-R shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GT-R feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GT-R travels over minor bumps.
