Questions About 2013 Nissan Leaf Steering & Suspension

  • What can cause my Nissan Leaf to have a bouncy ride?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Leaf 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 Leaf to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Leaf 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.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Leaf's steering and suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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.

  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Leaf’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • What is causing my Leaf’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Leaf is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
