Is It Time For 1994 Nissan Maxima Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1994 Nissan Maxima, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Maxima jolts, 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 1994 Nissan Maxima in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Nissan Maxima suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Maxima’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Nissan Maxima shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Nissan Maxima suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 Maxima Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Maxima'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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Nissan Maxima? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Maxima 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 Maxima’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Nissan Maxima to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Maxima 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 Maxima 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 Maxima need replacing? 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.
