here's a list of what i did this weekend taking

only six hours to complete and 2 people not doing any of this before.....

1. both front axle's
2. front struts
3. r&r'd both front rotors and shoes
4. back brake's rotors pulled (none in stock ) so i had to put back together

special note: both the front axles were a cake, the struts were not,
compressing the spring was not.. and if you so choose
to do this job beware, if you have oem springs order the
strut boots from nissan, they are 21$'s a pop....ck'ed
around and nobody makes the boots....from what i am told
mine were beyound trashed.

also thx to you guys for the tip's that i ck'ed out here before doing this job......

compressing the springs is easy...why did you have such a problem? generic boots work fine as well and are 1/3 the price.
good job tho!
nothing like working on your own car...except being rich enough to pay other people to work on it for you...

i'll probably be looking into some beefier axles this summer

good to hear somebody who hasn't said theirs were rusted on and wouldn't budge
