Hi Robert,
Yesterday I noticed that my 2018 Nissan Titan is slightly lower on the left side. My Friend said this could be caused by a problem with the struts, is he correct?
Thanks,
Garry
Hi, Garry!
There are a few reasons your 2018 Nissan Titan could be slightly lower on one side, including problems with its struts.
The struts suspend the body of your truck over the wheels and transfer its weight to them. They also contain the shock absorbers which soak up impacts from the road and ensure your Titan rides smoothly.
The shock absorbers rely on coil springs to function properly: this means that there are three main components all working together.
If any of one of these components become stuck, it can result in one side of the vehicle being higher or lower than the other.
I can’t say that this is the problem with your truck without inspecting it. My advice is to call down to our Service Department and let the Technicians have a look.
Thanks for the question, Garry! Please don't hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
