I was putting my old suspension in today and I noticed that one to the three studs on the front upper isolator has been sheared off. I was looking on the Courtesy Nissan site, and they sell the isolator without studs.

Now I am asking if I need to press out the old stud or buy a new isolator with them already in. If I can press it out, any suggestions as to how would be appreciated. I start school on Monday and need my car in working order ASAP. Thanks everybody.

 

they're pretty cheap to buy (<$50 IIRC), so I'd just go that route. I'm not sure where you'd get the studs.

Not sure if the 5th gen ones will fit, but I have an extra one around here if you think it will...

 

Today at 8:00am. I was actually able to go into the local Nissan parts dept. and walk out with the part I needed without having to wait 3-5 days. This is the first time in 6 years, including ordering stupid things like fuel filters and gaskets. I bought the front strut insulating bracket for about $30. I now have the strut in and I am going to get it aligned tommorrow.

Thanks for the offer Irish. I would guess that the part is the same for 5th gens and maybe that is why they had one in stock. I dunno?
