What are the main components that ensure great road holding and handling on a Infiniti Q50?

We commence this article by quickly telling you the most important components that will ensure good road holding for your Infiniti Q50. It’s essential to know that a vehicle’s grip is a science in itself. It will therefore depend on many factors, we will explain down below the most important ones that can be affected:

  • Shock absorbers: The most important components of your road handling, they permanently ensure the contact between the wheels and the road. They absorb all shocks and holes on the road.
  • Tyres: They are the ones that will ensure the grip of your Infiniti Q50 on the road, the softer they are, the more grip you have, but the faster they get damaged, the harder they are, the less grip you have, but the more resistant they are. Temperature impacts their wear. Their size will as well play on grip, the wider they are the more contact with the ground will be important.
  • The center of gravity: The higher your car is going to be, the more it will lean in the corners and therefore lose handling, that’s why low profile sports cars grip better than very high 4×4’s
  • Wheel Alignment: This adjustment allows you to manage the vertical angle of your car’s wheels, it is therefore important for the grip of your motor vehicle and the wear of your tires. This adjustment is very precise and must be accomplished by professionals.

There are many other components to take into account such as wheelbase, ground clearance, chassis rigidity, weight and aerodynamics…

Why is my Infiniti Q50 having complications with my car’s handling or grip?

  • As we described above, the rubber of the tyres has a primordial purpose in the good road holding of your motor vehicle, if your tyres are dead, you may possibly have complications of road holding on wet road at first and when you reach the “cord” even on dry road.
  • Dead shock absorbers: If your shock absorbers are dead, your motor vehicle will no longer be able to absorb the irregularities of the road effectively and it will often “float”, which will result in a bad distribution of the masses on the vehicle and shift the centre of gravity of the vehicle. You risk slipping in the bends.
  • The risk with a misalignment is that your ground contact area is reduced because of a too open or too closed wheel angle, you will have grip complications.
  • A steering issue: Last but not least, the last important element for good road handling is that all the components of your steering must be in good state. The most classic case is that your stabilizer bar or the silent blocks of your steering triangles are dead. The result will be a delay in your changes of direction.
