So this weekend I planned on tackling my struts, replacing all. Got the fronts in piece of cake, went by fast and perfect. So moving onto the rears, pop the trunk and get a good idea of what I am looking at, so I go to untighted the nuts on the bolts poking through the tower, and BAM, i twist off one of the bolts, that is located on the top of the spring, (that black piece that kind of covers the top of the coils.) Well anyhow, the other nut is stripped liek crazy. The other side fortunately came off just fine no problems, so i was curious if any of you out there have ran into this problem, or know where I might be able to buy or locate one of those new brackets that goes over the top of the coils.... Sure a nissan dealer has em but I dont want to get rapped on the price here, do local autozone's or red roosters or such sell that type of item?

if you have a little money put in the motovational rear strut mounts ....which removes the bump stops. When a bolt is badly stripped.....I suggest taking a dremel tool and reshaping it. Works for me anyways. I also noticed sears is selling a new tool set that removes stripped bolts..looks promosing..specially since its craftsman.
If you cant afford the motovational mounts though. Perhaps look at getting some new stock ones....look in the links section on the home page of maxima.org there are some wholesale dealers.
