I was reading this thread here ->http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...n-updated.html

and, my question is out of all of the little pieces listed on that page for the front and rear suspension, are there any ones that I should focus on buying for sure? If I were to buy all the pieces listed it adds up to just under 500$...

I have tokico blue struts/springs ready to go on, and I am having a local shop do it, but just need quick guidance on these parts so I can grab them and drop them off to get this done...

I really do not want to pay all 500$ on top of the 300 I paid for the struts/springs in addition to the labor I will be paying the shop to put it all on so any old parts that will most likely be fine I would love to reuse.

Btw, I have a 98 maxima GLE, and with 160k miles completely stock suspension. I'm not looking for it to be like showroom new, but I want to do the suspension replacement to last for a while.

Thanks!

if i was you i would at least buy the little bearing that goes on the 2 front struts and new dust boots/ bump stops.

$500 bucks?? Exactly what parts are these?? If you are referring to stabilizer bushings, LCA, sway bar end link bushings, rear sway bar link, how could it possibly come near $500. You stated that you have the struts already...That was the most expensive..

Moog mounts. Don't bother with anything else. Don't forget about dustboots.

OP where are you located? My install price is probably less than what the shop is going to charge you.

Does anyone know if u have to wrap new springs with electric tape or tubing? Any hints

Just reuse the isolators that are already on the spring. You only have to isolate the bottom of the spring.

And aftermarket springs come with isolators already installed.
