Thank you everyone. Got my KYB's in yesterday and have an Alignment, Balance, and Rotation scheduled tomorrow. So far the difference is absolutely amazing.

Actually I had found them for for $115 each plus $20 shipping, but the GR-2s were only $85. They are out for delivery right now. Im hoping in a few weeks my new job will kick off and the pathy will quickly become my second vehicle and I can do a ton of fun stuff to it

Yeh I went back and reread some of the things I had read and realized the bad KYB stuff wasn't the struts. I actually already ordered th KYB GR-2s this morning along with KYB boots with bump-stops.. Thanks a ton everyone. I'll post a pic when I get them installed, though Its pretty much stock.

Thats what i was "figuring" but you never know when a manufacture wants to make 1 part just a little bit different so that you cant do it easily your self. But like I said above this is awesome news. So now its time for opinions on strut assemblies, from everything I've read KYB's are off the list. So Im thinking either Rancho's or high end Monroe's. I am not looking for any lift just good reliable struts. Again thanks a ton, I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted off me.

My god that is exactally what I wanted to hear. That is a godsend, caught my costs by literally 60%. Now to just choose the struts and take the plunge.

Well I do want to go with new parts personally if at all possible, but there is a shop locally here that shows a used set in stock so that maybe PERFECT. I know its more expensive but I would feel better about it since I don't plan on changing vehicles any time soon. I guess my big question is can I purchase a set of say Monroe Sensa-Trac Front Struts assemblies and fit them without modification on the 96 SE. I know the Electronic adjust equipment would need to be removed, but If the strut mount is all the same I would be in Heaven. I was quoted $1k with new parts and install and alignment at a local shop, but I have found just the OEM parts for $260 and should be able to install them with my friend and then have the shop do the $50 alignment afterwards. If I can get a set of KYB's or Monroes I can get it all done for $200 total and that would leave me enough to pay off my Pathy and have some living funds left over. Thanks again in advance for opinions and info.

Thank you sir.

Hello all I am new here. Ive been lurking for a little while reading how-to's and working on my pathy and its running better then ever. But now I have a question which I can not seem to find an answer too anywhere on the web. I have a 96 Pathfinder SE with Electronic Adjust suspension. I just rolled over 93k miles and have been putting off replacing the front struts for about a year now, but it has now gotten so bad that the front end of the pathy actually sags and I can bounce it so much that I can bring the front tires off the ground. So its gotten very dangerous and I indeed now have to replace the struts. The problem being that I am currently unemployed so money is very tight. While I can afford to purchase the OEM electronic adjust struts the cheapest I can find them is for $257 shipped. But I can get a set of KYBs, Gabriels, Monroes, or even Ranchos for half that but they all say they do not fit the electronic adjust. So the question is what would be the cheapest/safest way to replace the front struts on a 96 pathfinder se with electronic adjust? A little help would be great in this area as my mechanic friend that will be helping me replace them is completely unsure if non-adjust struts will fit in the stock mounts. Thank you in advance. The Pathfinder in question.
