OMG they gave me the wrong the wrong part!
So, I finaly got my springs and struts. I went to put them on this weekend, and my rear shocks went on good, then I went to go do the front struts, and the damn bolt holes dont match up.!!! Like, if you put the bottom bolt of the strut in, theres NO WAY in hell the camber bolt thing will fit in. Ill admit, I have never done this, BUT i tested everyway possible and on both sides!!!!
I have a 99 max se, and it was the first gen on them. Built Oct 8 98 (or something like that). I think they ordered me the wront struts!!!
Going to the store tomorrow and getting them to Fedex (speed style) the proper ones for free. My poor babys is on blocks.
Tokico Illuminas adjustable sturts.
Eibachs springs.
Is it possible I am doing this wrong????
Did you guys use camber kits??? Like, they are adjustable bolts so your tires dont point in??? Any hints or tips on the proper way to use this??
Ps, NO bolt would fit in the other hole, not even a screw driver it was so small

They gave you struts for a 5th generation Maxima, hopefully just the fronts.
Did the rear springs sit correctly, nice and tight on the rear shocks perch?
Don't put those bolts in, you don't need them and make sure you have your front toe reset after everything is installed.

You don't have to drill the mounting holes in the tein coilovers. You have to widen them, if that's what you meant.
