Poor ride quality in Nissan Primera - Peter Sharpe
My L reg Primera 1800 makes me feel as if I am driving on solid tyres, and seems to have poor road holding qualities. The obvious answer would normally be connected with the tracking or suspension, but no fault has been found with either of these. The suspension is unusually hard though, and gives the impression of driving over cobbles, even when on a smooth road surface. There is no abnormal tyre wear. Any ideas?

Re: Poor ride quality in Nissan Primera - Richard
Hi there Peter,

I drive a 98'S Primera and the ride is in fact the other way ... tending to be on the soft side (really noticable going over speed bump and undulating roads). I am told this is normal. The Primera is set up for a more sporty handling bias and is well known for it's good ability.

It could be your choice of tyres ... check out what the originals were and think about changing or seek advice from a good, impartial dealer.
