Summary:
- Shock and strut mounts are more than just attachment points for the dampers, especially on a vehicle like the Infiniti Q45 that’s all about comfort.
- Shock and strut mounts reduce the impact of the Infiniti Q45’s abrupt movement over uneven road surfaces like speed bumps and potholes. They reduce jarring movement, noise, and vibration.
- Front mounts often come with a bearing or bearing plate. These friction-reducing parts act as pivot points for the steering system.
- Common drivability-related issues related to a bad Infiniti Q45 shock and strut mount include clunking sounds and vibrations from the wheels.
- The price tag of a replacement Infiniti Q45 shock and strut mount can vary anywhere between $25 and $60.
As Nissan's representative in the full-size luxury car division, the Infiniti Q45 gives a dreamy ride. The first generation introduced an optional active suspension that fitted each wheel with a hydraulic actuator to compensate for any bump or hole in the road. Relatively few units received this complex system.
Even without that active suspension, the Infiniti Q45 proved maneuverable for a big car. Most Q45s feature conventional suspensions with the traditional shock absorbers and strut assemblies. These dampers reduce the sharp bumps caused by driving over uneven road surfaces.
Heavy-duty mounts secure the shock absorbers and struts to the vehicle. These shock and strut mounts are more than just attachment points for the dampers, especially on a vehicle like the Infiniti Q45 that’s all about comfort.
What Is an Infiniti Q45 Shock and Strut Mount?
The typical shock and strut mount has two sides. One side serves as the attachment point for the strut, while the opposite side attaches to the vehicle. In between the sides sits a layer of insulating material that cancels out most of the vibration and sounds.
Shock and strut mounts reduce the impact of the Infiniti Q45’s abrupt movement over uneven road surfaces like speed bumps and potholes. They reduce jarring movement, noise, and vibration.
Front shock and strut mounts often come with a bearing or bearing plate. These friction-reducing parts act as pivot points for the steering system, improving the vehicle’s handling on the road.
Shock and strut mounts also keep tire-related noise and vibrations away from the rest of the vehicle, especially the interior cabin. Drivers and passengers alike can enjoy the ensuing smooth and quiet ride.
When Do You Need to Get New Infiniti Q45 Shock and Strut Mounts?
The same operating conditions that wear down shock absorbers and strut assemblies also affect their mounts. As shock and strut mounts get older, the insulating material breaks down and becomes less effective at dampening impacts.
Similarly, the mount’s bearing component can get worn out by the heat produced by its moving parts’ friction and damage caused by the impact. A bad bearing won’t rotate as smoothly and quietly, leading to problems with the steering.
Listed below are the most common drivability-related issues associated with a bad Infiniti Q45 shock and strut mount:
- Clunking sounds from the suspension
- Noticeable vibration from the wheels
- Noisy, loose, or stiff steering
- Misaligned tires
- Uneven tire wear
Check each shock and strut mount for visual signs of a problem. Keep an eye out for the following:
- Loose or damaged parts
- Parts that move too much
- Visible cracks or sags in rubber parts
- Corrosion on the metal parts
How Much Does an Infiniti Q45 Shock and Strut Mount Cost?
The price tag of a replacement Infiniti Q45 shock and strut mount can vary anywhere between $25 and $60. Factors that affect the mount’s cost include the number of parts in each set. Shock and strut mounts are sold individually or as part of a replacement kit with other parts, such as bearings.
