thanks for all the replies. i appreciate it. i knew i had to be right about him ordering the wrong stuff and there not being some random based two suspension setup (he even told me his buddy at the nissan dealer confirmed this, lol). i am surprised there arent more options. its just frustrating he would argue with me about it when theres just no evidence of his claims. unfortunately i was not really the direct handler as she went in to the 4wheel parts store and got all setup with an appointment and sold on these parts that they incorrectly looked up to begin and are trying to play it off as not their fault because its some unicorn pathfinder haha.

hi there, hoping to gain any insight on my girlfriends 2004 pathfinder se 4x4. 4wheel parts sold her on some bilstein 5100 front struts and rancho rear shocks. took the truck in and during install they say, "this pathfinder actually has a 2003 style front suspension underneath it. it is a mcphearson strut type and there are no parts available but oem and monroe. no one makes anything off road style. it is rare, uncommon and is a 50/50 crapshoot on which suspension came on this year pathfinder because its a split year model, it doesnt have an upper a arm or control arm so we cant put these bilsteins we ordered on it because its the different style" now i am pretty knowledgable and already knew it was a strut type. i even PB soaked all the the bolts for them before she took it to the shop. isnt this guy just full of @!*% on two different suspension types on these? i believe he ordered Armada front shocks or something. (he asked if it was a v8 when we made appointment) i asked him well what about all these trucks online with bilsteins and kybs and he said "they must have the other suspension type with an upper a arm, its a 50/50 gamble" all in all he says monroe is all there is and its going to cost several hundreds more than the bilsteins he sold us. any idea what hes on about? thank you for your time.
