What are the main elements that ensure good road holding and handling on a Infiniti QX50?

We begin this content page by quickly detailing the most important components that will ensure good road holding for your Infiniti QX50. It’s essential to know that a vehicle’s grip is a science in itself. It will therefore depend on many points, we will describe below the most important ones that can be influenced:

  • Shock absorbers: The most important components of your road handling, they perpetually 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 QX50 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 influences 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 vehicles grip better than very high 4×4’s
  • Wheel Alignment: This adjustment enables you to control the vertical angle of your car’s wheels, it is therefore fundamental for the grip of your car and the wear of your tires. This adjustment is very precise and must be carried out by specialists.

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

Why is my Infiniti QX50 having problems with my car’s handling or grip?

We will now move on to the component that interests you the most, why my Infiniti QX50 has handling problems? As we explained earlier, there are a lot of elements to consider for your car to have a good grip, however there are few that can evolve over time, most of them are intrinsic to the construction of the vehicle, we will find out right away those that can disturb your handling and road, and, why:

  • As we mentioned earlier, the rubber of the tyres has a crucial purpose in the good road holding of your car, if your tyres are dead, you might have problems 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 car will no longer be able to absorb the irregularities of the road properly and it will often “float”, which will result in a bad distribution of the masses on the car and shift the centre of gravity of the car. 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 problems.
  • A steering problem: Last but not least, the last fundamental part for good road handling is that all the elements of your steering must be in good condition. The most classic circumstance is that your stabilizer bar or the silent blocks of your steering triangles are dead. The outcome will be a delay in your changes of direction.
