Struts are a critical part of the suspension assembly that help reduce the impact of the road while steering the vehicle. The front strut is located on the front wheel suspension and greatly aids in vehicle handling. The strut has two basic components that help it accomplish its task: the shock absorber and coil spring. The coil spring absorbs roadway bumps while supporting the weight of the vehicle. The major objective of a good strut is to allow the suspension to move up and down, stabilizing the vehicle while driving. The shock absorber’s role is to absorb smaller bumps and vibrations to add stability to the vehicle.
Struts usually have a long life, but they will eventually wear out and require front strut replacement service. There are several warning signs that your Nissan car, truck, crossover, or SUV requires front strut replacement service:
