Compare Infiniti Fx suspension repair quotes from specialist garages

The FX, a luxury crossover introduced in 2002, is known for its bold design and suits drivers for whom luxury and style are priorities. Infiniti calls it "a sports car at heart", with top speeds ranging from 130 to 155 mph and a 0-60 time of five to seven seconds, depending on which engine configuration you choose.

The FX has connections to motorsport, having been used as an F1 safety car, and there is also an FX Sebastian Vettel Edition, named after the F1 champion. Common problems with the FX include worn and damaged wheel bearings (often indicated by a humming or grinding sound), a noisy timing chain and transmission issues.

Car suspension does a few important jobs. It maximises the friction between the tyres and road surface, absorbs the shock from speed and road bumps, provides steering stability and generally gives you and your passengers a more comfortable drive. Find out more about how it does these things in this guide to suspension.

The following symptoms could indicate you need to book a car suspension repair:

• Drifting/pulling to one side after corners
• Continued bouncing after hitting a bump
• A generally bumpy ride
• One side of the car sitting lower than the other when it is parked

If your vehicle is difficult to handle, there could be other issues at play, such as incorrect wheel alignment, which is why it's crucial to have the problem checked by an expert.

Shock absorbers, leaf springs, coil springs and torsion bars are all suspension components that sometimes need replacing. Shock absorber replacement is one of the most common categories of repair carried out by car suspension specialists.
