Replace anything that looks worn.

Check the front upper strut mounts and dust boots.
Check the sway bar end links and main bar bushings.
Illuminas come with all new bushings for the rear, all you need to replace in the rear is the dust boots.

Just replace the dust boots, and trim your bump stops, thats it. Get gasket paper and make gaskets for where the shock and body meet up to reduce the sqeeks everyone is always complainin off

I dont really remeber what the price of the parts were sorry, that was about 2 years ago. they cant be that expensive. But I was told by a friend of mine that works for Nissan to repalce all the rubber parts to be on the safe side which makes sense since everything is all apart anyway and you want to do the job only once and right the first time.Dishout the few extra bucks.

They really should make a refresh kit for us. I understand why the individual parts are so expensive, but if they made a kit it'd make it easier on us, and they would be able to cut the price down without the overhead of individually packaging everything.
