I might be buying a 99 Maxima as a parts car. I have a 95 and my brother has a 97.

Parts I'm wondering if they're interchangeable from the 1999 to my 1995 (so this is worth my while)

Mechanical:

1. Complete front and rear strut assemblies
2. complete front lower control arms (with ball joints)
3. CV Axles
4. Rotors and Pads, front and rear

Body panels:

1. Rear trunk lid (I believe I have to change over the tail lights as well because the rear is a difference)
2. Rear bumper cover.

I know what my brother is after will work. He is after the fog lights (his are cracked) and the SE rims.

He may be interested in the 5 speed transmission, but from what I can tell it'll swap over fine to his 97 5 speed.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

lbrowne

The taillights on the 97-99 trunk lid will differ from those on the 95 trunk lid. If you are swapping the trunk lid to the 95, might as well change the bumper also. You'll also need the 97-99 outer taillights.

The 97-99 fog lights differ from that on a 95, so if you're swapping the 97-99 foglights over to the 95, then you'll need the front bumper as well, and then the grill also.

Even though not mentioned. If the headlights and corner lights are not spoken for, swap them over to the 95. The 97-99 headlights and corner lights are much clearer than the 95-96.
