Hey all-
I ended up getting the Tokicos from Alex at SOUTHWESTMOTORSPORTS---nice guy! Anyway, where can I get some strut bearings and dust boots cheap? How much should I expect to pay for 4 dust boot covers and the bearings for the struts?

Thanks,
SHUMAX

Bearings are about $20 each from nissan. Dust boots are about $5 each at your local off road store.
Thats what I did.

hey.

They were $322 to my door step from Arizona. Alex is a nice guy. SHOX.COM had the same price, but I would rather give ALEX the money seeing as how he is a member of the board.

Strut bearings go on the under side of the mount that is on TOP of the strut assembly. I can't really describe there function though. They are prone to failing especially i you take the strut assembly apart. Rather than take a chance I decided to just go ahead and replace them so I don't have to tear the damn car apart if they do go out after I do the shocks/struts!

I need to find rear dust boots CHEAP though...any more suggestions outside of a nissan dealer? They all want $40 something a piece!!!!!!!
