It’s important to know that a vehicle’s grip is a science in itself. It will as a result rely upon many factors, we will show you below the most important ones that can be affected:

  • Shock absorbers: The most important elements 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 Nissan Titan on the road, the softer they are, the more grip you have, but the faster they get broken, the harder they are, the less grip you have, but the more resistant they are. Temperature influences their wear. Their size will also play on grip, the wider they are the more contact with the ground will be significant.
  • 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 enables you to control the vertical angle of your car’s wheels, it is therefore necessary for the grip of your motor vehicle and the wear of your tires. This adjustment is very precise and must be done by specialists.

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

Why is my Nissan Titan having complications with my car’s handling or grip?

  • Dead shock absorbers: If your shock absorbers are dead, your motor vehicle will no longer have the ability 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 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 as a result of a too open or too closed wheel angle, you will have grip complications.
  • A steering issue: Last but not least, the last necessary part for good road handling is that all the elements of your steering must be in good state. The most traditional 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.
