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.
