Is It Time For 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Pulsar NX feels bouncy, pulls 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 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Pulsar NX 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 Pulsar NX Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX’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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Nissan up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Pulsar NX’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Nissan Pulsar NX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1988 Nissan Pulsar NX’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1988 Pulsar NX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Nissan Pulsar NX? 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 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Nissan's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Nissan Pulsar NX to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Pulsar NX 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.
  • Why does my Pulsar NX tilt forward 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Nissan Pulsar NX need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Pulsar NX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Pulsar NX travels over minor bumps.
