How do I replace the rear shocks on a 2006-2010 Infiniti M45?
To replace rear shocks, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and locate the shock absorber. Unbolt the lower mounting bolt and the upper mount inside the trunk. Compress the shock to remove it, then install the new shock in reverse order. Torque bolts to factory specifications (e.g., 45-55 ft-lbs for lower bolts) and ensure proper alignment.
Q4 What are common suspension issues in the 2006-2010 Infiniti M45?
What are common suspension issues in the 2006-2010 Infiniti M45?
Common issues include worn shock absorbers causing a bumpy ride, squeaking noises from dry bushings, and uneven tire wear due to misalignment. Diagnose by inspecting for fluid leaks, checking for play in suspension components, and testing ride quality. Replace worn parts and realign the suspension to resolve these issues.
Q5 How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti M45 suspension?
How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti M45 suspension?
To optimize performance, upgrade to high-performance shocks and struts, such as Bilstein or KYB variants. Lowering springs can improve handling, but ensure proper alignment. Regularly inspect and replace worn bushings and ball joints. Use quality tires and maintain correct tire pressure. Consider a professional alignment to enhance stability and cornering.
