2008 QX56 suspension

[zepol379]

My qx56 is riding really soft. It seems to rock side to side on little turns. Took it to my mechanic and front struts and coils seem ok. also checked back shocks also ok. they took for test ride and agreed something not right. Any ideas on a possible first step to correct 2008 qx56 with 62000 miles. thanks

change the shocks to bilstein. do you have the auto leveling system?

[zepol379]

Yes I have a leveling system. You mean the airbags, correct ? Any model of bilstein's better than others? Think that will stop the swaying? Thanks

yeah i know a lot of cats who have switched to these in front and it really helped "bump steer".
i had two armadas before getting my 12 q and on my 08 armada , although i NEVER had any issues with bump steer (i also had 24 inch wheels on it) i switched to those shocks and they were amazing.

I cant guarantee this will cure your issue but these shocks are famous on armadas! i am a member of another armada site that is VERY active and many of them agree on these shocks.

the bags in back you should leave those alone in my opinion.

although you have a qx, its essentially the same car as the armada as they are all made on the same line with the titan, so if you are doing any internet research, expand your search to your model year with the armada/titan.

Thanks for the advise. Will try the front shocks.
