Does Your 2020 Nissan Leaf Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2020 Nissan Leaf, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Leaf jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2020 Nissan Leaf in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Leaf 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Nissan Leaf

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 Nissan Leaf suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Nissan up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2020 Nissan Leaf shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Nissan Leaf shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Nissan Leaf suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2020 Leaf Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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. 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 Leaf? 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 connect with the road how Nissan intended.
  • When does Nissan Leaf power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Leaf is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Nissan Leaf bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Leaf to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Leaf 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 Leaf need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Leaf feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Leaf travels over minor bumps.
