I noticed the 6gen has a rocking motion when you come to a stop no matter how hard you slam on the brakes. WHY DOES IT DO THIS?!? i absolutely hate it..i liked my other maximas that just stopped...and didnt roll back and forth a few cms before completely stopping..or up and down i dont know, you all expierence this right?the only other car ive ever felt do this is a bmw x5.(< ?) im confused why though. parking brake has same effect. rolls a few cm's before it stops it. again, older maximas and most other cars dont do this.

 

worn struts? That's usually a sign of it

 

well ill be doing new suspension next month (springs struts and shocks) maybe that will help it?

 

Funny you mention this. My GF mentioned this as well with my brand new 07. I didn't notice, but she did. Occurs right after you come to a complete stop.

 

My 96 max used to do that as well when stopping even with new gr2's. It just depends on how much pressure you are putting on the brakes. If you know how to play with the brake pedal it shouldn't happened.

 

yes i know how to make it not do it..but i used to like stopping and just putting my foot down and it would just stop..and hold in place. maybe i am picky but thats a BIG thing to me..annoys me a lot.

 

Hmm that's odd ... I've owned a '96 altima, '97 passat, '95 grand cherokee, '04 grand cherokee and my '04 Maxima and I think the Maxima has the least amount of the seesaw feeling. There's a term for it I just don't remember and when the Maxima was sold to me the salesman used it. I also think the stock suspension is so bad Nissan needs to recall it. I'm on my 3rd set of struts and when I hit bumps the front of my car goes bananas and the rear hops all over the road.

 

^^^ Dive and Lift.

 

well its not a seesaw effect, I know what you mean though. I dono..just wanted to see if I was the only one.
