Should I replace the struts on my beater maxima?
#41
think so? whats your experience with them. Ive used both, they are ok. They are much better than a OEM set at 130K+. In college I dropped a Mitsubishi eclipse on GR's and then the same year model 2 years later with the Gabriels (why you ask cuz at the time I was working at autozone) Both had the same H&R spring. The ride was much better with the gabriels and the rears blew out quickly on the GR's.
I wouldnt dare use them unless I was in a situation like I am in now

you can actually live without dustboots, but that dramatically shortens the lifespan of the strut

I used them without dustboots on a previous 3rd gen....clunkety clunk in 6 months. If you use a cheap strut you DEF want dustboots and of course you want to cross your fingers

i plan on getting rid of the max in the spring anyway lol. but maybe i will decide to leave it in pretty good shape for the next owner. i want to sell the max to move on to a rearwheel drive car, for some reason i really want one. i want a 300zx. but my stepdad knows a guy with a mint. condition 97 mustang gt. lol, but i'm sure i will be back in a maxima at somepoint, i love these cars, espcecially the 3rd gen.

the 5.0 only went untill 1995 then the gt's had the 4.6 sohc and the cobra's got the dohc 4.6. but the 4.6 sohc produces just as much power as the 5.0 so it's still nice. the cobra's put out 305+ hp pretty sick.
