I bought a set of suspension (H-tech with Tokico Blue) from another .org member and I am going to install it soon. I took a look at the set and notice this "gasket" seems kind of old.



Do I have to replace it? If yes, where can I but it? Also, any other parts I should replace?

Thanks.

 

I got some gasket material at a rural king and traced out new ones. Work great... You don't want to price some of the suspension rubber pieces and things like this at a nissan stealership.

 

Call Dave at Southpoint Nissan. 512-444-1400. I bought some a while back, they were not that much at all.

 

Definitely change that bad boy. It does not look good at all.

 

I'd change it, for peace of mind, since youre gonna be doing the fronts, you can also change the strut bearings(depends on the shape of the ones you have on now).

 

I have an extra 1 or 2 for the front. I can mail it to u. I accept paypal. As for the rear, I dont think there's as much movement, I'd probably just make something up, like laminated cardboard/paper.

Thanks. How much? Please PM me.

 

The fronts are useless, but the rears keep dirt and water out of the trunk. Ask me how I know. I too made my own out of gasket material purchased from the auto parts store. They have lasted 4 years and countless installs.

 

FTR, fronts are PN 54329-39U00, $8.89 @ Courtesy.

Rears are PN 55338-0M000, $19.28 @ Courtesy.

At those prices, (though undoubtedly cheaper through Dave B)...I would most definitely consider trying to rig something up.

 

spend the money while everythings out, makes it easier in the long run
