When To Get 1983 Nissan Pulsar NX Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1983 Nissan Pulsar NX, 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 Pulsar NX 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 1983 Nissan Pulsar NX in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Pulsar NX suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Nissan Pulsar NX suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Nissan Pulsar NX Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1983 Nissan Pulsar NX’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 getting your 1983 Nissan Pulsar NX’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Nissan Pulsar NX shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Pulsar NX’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1983 Pulsar NX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 Pulsar NX? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Nissan intended.
  • When should I have my Nissan Pulsar NX power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Pulsar NX is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Nissan's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Nissan Pulsar NX bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Pulsar NX's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Pulsar NX 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Nissan Pulsar NX shocks? Worn Pulsar NX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Pulsar NX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Pulsar NX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
