Rear Suspension

Rear Suspension
I look at my car and it looks like the rear is squatting down, I don't know if it is normal. I have seen other maximas and they also look like the rear is squatting, but the newer models 2007-08 don't.
I just wonder if the spring or shocks are weak and it is time to changed them, I will post a picture to show you what I mean exactly.

Glad you posted this thread. I have the same issue and it looks strange when sitting in the parking lot. I also thought the shocks or springs required replacement. However if you look at the 08 with stock equipment it looks like both tires are even. By the way can someone tell me if 4 inches for the front wheel well to tire(245-45-18) is normal.

Anyone can tell me where to look for rear shock mounts: in the trunk on under rear parcel shelf? Going to replace the whole setup with KYBs and need a little insight. Is there a write up on the rear replacement? I found one for the front, but not the rear.
How critical is it to use a torque wrench when tightening suspension bolts and nuts? Or as long as I don't overtorque it I'll be fine? Thanks in advance.

1. do you have a sub or system in your trunk?
2. remove your spare tire from your trunk. it will remove 20-30 lbs.
3. lower your Max with some after market springs. it will help the front end look much better.

it is always best to use the t-wrench but as long as you dont put a lot of strain tighting the bolts you should be fine.

I did notice the back of the car rise a little with no spare.

Naa, I'll keep the extra 30 lbs for that added reassurance that I can get out of a sticky situation by myself.

on #2, I am not sure I have the ball$ to remove it because with my luck I'll end up getting stranded where the moose play - if you know what I mean...
