Rear shock questions. UPDATE
Hello,
I have leaking rear struts (and clunking and knocking), 2009 S with 86K miles Car is bone stock, 18 inch stock wheels, and would like to keep it so. I'm leaning toward Nissan OEM ones PS: Thanks for the answers, I have new questions Questions: 1. Do I need new springs? part no. 550209N10B 2. Do I need new mounts? part no. 55322ZX00A 3. Do I need rubber bushing for the spring 550503Z000 and 550368J010? 4. Any other parts may be needed/recommended once everything is dropped? I hate to reuse a worn part and have to drop everything again later. Thanks |
Shocks in the rear , Struts only in the front.. You really have no choices.. EIther the stock Sachs shocks, or a Monroe or KYb… I did not like any of those so I went with BC Racing Coilovers...
As long as you don't have like over 150k miles.. You can just reuse the springs.. check the rubber isolators for wear though. |
Non sports can use the Monroe OEspectrums. I have them all around and have 60K miles on them, much better than stock. The oems are meh for the money.

I am thinking now about KYB. |

I used Monroe in a Maxima 2003 and they sucked so much.

Bump for an update in OP

If you are just doing the rear, all you need is a set of shocks. I wouldn't bother with the coils unless you are having an issue. I looked for a while for some nice options, but finally settled on KYB's (349139 was the part number). I wasn't blown away by them but they did improve the ride over the blown shocks I had. I put them on 7/2016 at 108k and I haven't noticed them leaking or having issues. I'm just about to hit 160k. I wish Koni would make some for the 7th gens.

I put monroe's on the back of my 07 a few months before I traded it in. Did the job, but on big bumps they made a loud hiss sound if the wheels traveled up/down faster then a gentle run. I don't know if it was defective or just the way it was with that brand. Based on that experience I'd venture into something else if I was doing it again.

I know what you mean MadMax07SL, my OE shocks hissed, the KYB's don't seem to do that. Not a deal breaker - but interesting.
