Everybody Celebrate!
Yesterday the Spindle Dave overnighted me arrived and I slapped it on... My car is now 100% driveable!
Just need to send in rim to be repaired and go get it painted, but other then cosmetic problems its 100% ok.
Nissan quoted me $3468 for repairs... Ended up costing me a little less then $500 having the parts overnighted (twice) to me. (Plus $100 for rim repair).
Nissan said the wait would be 5-6 weeks... I am done in 7 days.
Thanks alot DaveB and everyone who helped. My baby is back!

uh oh... took it down to get it alligned and the camber is still off... Strut is bent...
Since I replaced the Lower Control Arm and Spindle I think the strut is the only thing it could be.

I need a fast opinion... I can't spend much money but want to fix the camber problem...
Do I:
1) Buy a new strut + mount from DaveB (how much?)
2) Buy a Camber plate from Stillen for $336
(My strut is bent... Camber is 1.5 degrees off)

Since you already have experience ripping your suspension apart, i say drive around with the bad camber until you have the cash to buy some aftermarket struts.

didn't I tell you, you'd be surprise at the difference by just contacting DaveB.
I told DaveB once the .org should probly write a letter on his behalf to Nissan, to promote him to oversee their servicing department operations. 3 cheers for DaveB (thanks again)
Glad for you man, get your six back to 100%.
