Nissan/Datsun Frontier Shocks and Struts

The shocks are the part of your Nissan Frontier's suspension system that absorb impacts and deal with harsh bumps. They assist the coil springs and control rebound rate. Worn shocks will often cause alignment problems as well as instability at high speeds, so they need to be replaced as soon as they're detected. You can find replacement shocks for Nissan Frontier at AutoZone.

When to Replace Your Shocks and Struts

A common sign that you need to replace your shocks is a vehicle that likes to dive under braking more than usual. You might also feel excessive squatting when accelerating, though this is less noticeable. Instability at highway speeds is relatively common too, and you'll feel your Nissan ‘float' in its lane, not tracking properly. Shocks need to be replaced anywhere between 50,000 miles and 80,000 miles, depending on how aggressive your driving style is and the road conditions in your area.

Top Shocks for a Nissan Frontier

Shocks rarely fail instantaneously, but instead wear out gradually as they slowly rust out or lose the ability to absorb bumps. When buying new shocks, you have a choice to make. A stiffer shock will cause a less comfortable ride but more corner stability, while a softer option will sacrifice some handling capabilities for better ride comfort. Shocks that mimic the original parts will give you a ride similar to the factory setup.
