I never got a straight answer about getting new struts... mine are really worn out, i need new struts and strut tower... i cant really find anything online, are there any aftermarket ones??

I'm 99 percent sure the 07+ altima struts will bolt right into the a35 max.

the only difference between the two if any, would be the spring rates.

No struts on rear, only shocks and springs.

When I had the car in for an alignment I challenged the Goodyear service guy to use his parts acquisition abilities to find aftermarket springs/struts/shocks for the 7th gen max and he couldn't, nothing out there except stock.

NO NO NO there are no aftermarket shocks available for our 7th gen's, gotta go to dealer and buy factory that is the only option we have. KYB does make rear units but they arent for SV sport or electric suspension models.

You know I'm not really sure what the term "electrical suspension" is refering to in the above post.
The only thing I can think of is the anti-lock braking or the VCD?
