Does Your 1992 Nissan Maxima Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1992 Nissan Maxima, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Maxima bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1992 Nissan Maxima in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Maxima steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Nissan Maxima Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1992 Nissan Maxima’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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 1992 Nissan Maxima shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Nissan Maxima shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1992 Nissan Maxima’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1992 Maxima Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Maxima's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Maxima? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Nissan Maxima 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Nissan's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Nissan Maxima 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 Maxima to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Maxima tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Maxima'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Nissan Maxima are bad? Worn Maxima shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Maxima might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Maxima shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
