Our part numbers on courtesy is 22060P, if you search that in ther site, you get other ks's. will any of the knock sensors work in our cars? or does it have to be specifically for the maxima, or just part number good enough? Reason asking, some other cars have the same part # with the same knock sensor, and are 28 bucks, and id rather get oem then ebay.

 

22060 refers to a knock sensor. the 30p00 that comes after it indicates that it is for the max along with several other car.
you can not just pick any old random knock sensor and hope it will work, unless you want to do some work to make it work depending on the sensor. only the OE # 22060-30p00 is direct fit.

Just finished replacing my knock sensor on my 98 maxima. I bought it on ebay for $48 from tennesseeautosales. Its oem so I had piece of mind knowing it was stock. And in the end it worked great.....There are two things that i definetly needed to do the job. One was a swivel socket wrench and two was PATIENCE. I have very large hands so it was impossible for me to fit my hands into that small space. And I was not about two start taking apart other components. The only thing i did disconnect was the one green sensor so id have a little more work space but not much more. Taking off the screw was not bad but it would be impossible if I didnt have the swivel wrench and extensions. The most difficult part of the job was putting the sensor back into place. Since the sensor has a hole in the center for mounting, I used a hanger through that hole to reach the sensor into place. I bent the hanger at an angle that would allow me to put the end of the hanger into the engine block hole for mounting. Then the next challenge was to put the screw into the hole of the sensor and screw it into the enging block without the screw falling out of socket and displacing the sensor from position. What i did to keep the screw on socket? I put a plastic sheet on the head of screw so it fit snug into the socket(cut excess plastic so i can see). It worked great! It didnt fall out and allowed me to reach and put the screw into place. After taking breather to regain my patience and focus, i started to slowly turn the wrench until it FINALLY grab to the engine block. The job took me a total of about 2-2.5 hours. Thanks to all you guys my fellow maxima enthusiast I was able to complete the job. Great info guys
