I have been noticing that every time I hit a pot hole or a crack in the road or even just a bump, my car feels like it shakes or vibrates. The vibration or shake sometimes travels from the front to the back. I have also been feeling like the car sways a bit, from side to side, especially when making turns. It used to feel much more stable. Any ideas out there?

It's probably time to replace your front struts and rear shocks.

How many miles on your car?

Tire pressure?

Alignment?

I am coming up on 60,000. Tire pressure is always maintained at 32 psi. No problems with alignment. The front end just doesn't feel as tight as it used to. I was thinking new struts as well. Thank you for your opinion.

does it throw you back in the seat when you hit the peddle on the right and throw you into the windshield when you hit the one on the left?

sorry, couldn't resist

Don't tell me...you're a comedian with no talent. I think you have mistaken MAXIMA.ORG for COMEDIANSWITHNOTALENT.COM. In other words, if you don't have anything constructive to say, keep your opinions to yourself.

its your struts. When the stuts go , like mine are you car will feel horrible on the road at all times. Also if you like get a front strut bar to help with the front end

Struts alright. Had the exact same thing happen on my '94 Altima.
