Seeking Advice for 2009 Nissan Clipper's Bouncing Issue and Uneven Ride Height

Uneven Ride Height

Excessive Bouncing

Hey fellow gearheads, I'm facing a peculiar problem with my 2009 Nissan Clipper (Gasoline variant). Lately, it's been bouncing excessively and the ride height isn't even as it normally should be. Had a hunch that the air suspension's compressor might be the culprit, but was hoping for some additional insights. Has anyone faced something similar? How did you go about fixing it at the workshop? What was your overall experience? Any tips or advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, s!

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2007 Nissan Be-1. I'd say I have some car experience but I'm no expert! I noticed symptoms like yours and ended up fixing it at my local workshop. After inspecting the car, they concluded the air compressor was defective and had it replaced. Cost me €890 for the whole deal. It might not be the same issue with your Clipper, but it's worth checking out! Do you know how many miles your Clipper has clocked? And any recent changes or modifications you've made to it? It would help me give you more precise advice. Cheers!

Hey, thanks for the quick response! My Clipper has clocked about 18228 KM. Haven't done any major changes or modifications recently. Your experience does give me solid direction to follow. Guess, I gotta get that compressor checked too. Thanks again for your help!

You're welcome! It does seem like your Nissan Clipper has retained its stock form well. Considering you haven't modified it recently and the KM count isn't too high, the air suspension's compressor could very likely be the issue. But, I'd also suggest you have the suspension bushings and struts checked - they might be worn out and causing the uneven ride height. I had to replace mine a while after the compressor incident as they were causing a bit of dip on one side. Thought I'd share in case it helps! Fixing these parts also improved the overall ride quality quite a bit. Good luck with your Clipper, fingers crossed it gets sorted without burning a hole in your pocket. Cheers!
