Is It Time For 2017 Nissan Maxima Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2017 Nissan Maxima, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Maxima bounces, leans 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 Maxima in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Maxima suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Maxima 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.

Nissan Maxima Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Nissan Maxima’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 getting your 2017 Nissan Maxima’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, 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 2017 Nissan Maxima suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2017 Nissan Maxima Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Nissan's 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 should my Nissan Maxima get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Nissan intended.
  • Does my Nissan Maxima 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 Maxima’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Nissan service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Nissan Maxima bouncing excessively? 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 dip in the front end of your Maxima when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Nissan Maxima shocks? 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.
