Ok, I am ABOUT to install my AGX struts and B&G springs. Now, I want to do everything at once, no two time deal for me. So, what do I NEED to purchase in order to put these new ones on, (ie. dust boots, bump stops, etc). Thanks all.

Thanks Sprint, you da' pimp.

 

Jack up your car, take the wheels off and look at everything. Check to see if all your dust covers are in good shape. If not, order new ones from Nissan. Get the strut bearings for the front new. There cheap. You may want to get yourself the spring isolators from Nissan as well. They cost more then Radio Shack Wire Wrap, but they work excellent! There's 3 each for the front springs and one for the rear.

Things you can't see till you get it apart are the top spring rubber perches. Both front and rear have these. These are usually in good shape. Renew them with some Armorall after you get them out. You may want to rotate them slightly so the end of the spring sits in a different spot. Sometimes the end tends to cut through the rubber. Metal to Metal = Noise.

In the rear you have rubber bushings on the top of the strut. If you find these are bad after you get the strut out, you may find generic replacements at an autoparts store.

While you have the front apart, put new front sway bar link bushings in. Courtsey Nissan has Poly. ones which are tighter then the stock rubber.

Thats all I can think of right now. Anybody else care to add to this?
