When the Nissan 300ZX was introduced as the third and fourth generations of the Nissan Z cars, it had to continue the legend that was firmly established by the legendary Datsun 240Z. One of the keys to the brilliant handling of the Z cars lies in their suspensions, so it is important that the suspension component must be properly maintained. The heart of the suspension lays in the Nissan 300ZX’s struts.

Struts refer to the piston like structure that binds the wheel to the body of the car and suspends the vehicle above the road. They hold the car at a neutral point and bear the weight of the car, along with the springs.

Not only do the Nissan 300ZX’s struts provide cushioning and dampening as the car goes over bumps and through turns, but they also hold the car down when traveling over hills and as it experiences body roll, again, while traveling through turns. Inspect your struts regularly and replace any that appear to be faulty.

Occasionally, struts will leak as the seals within them age. They are not meant to be rebuilt, only replaced. If the handling of your vehicles seems to be becoming rougher, one or more of your struts or other suspension components could be wearing out. Remember, when replacing Nissan 300ZX struts, like on all other vehicles, they must be replaced in pairs to keep your car’s handling neutral.
