josh Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Has anyone ever seen this part brake? From the nissan manual its the strut rod. But ive seen other names for it to compresion rod, etc. I need one of these and having a hard time finding one which leads me to belive these are dealer only. feel free to discuss Back to searchin.

Mookie Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Dealer part yes. At least it is up in Canada. Take a look at where it attaches at the frame to make sure that hole isn't worn. Have you inspected the other one too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 thats the Compression Rod if I'm not mistaken...do as suggested and check your frame for wear where it connects...I'm going to guess its find b/c of the bushing but if i is worn you will need to probably have it blown out and have a sleeve welded in or something to that affect...

josh Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 thanks for the info guys, now if I can find one, that will be even better. the frame looked fine where it connected. Im gonna replace the bushings on both of these when I get one to replace this one. As well as inspect the other side. Now if some one has one pleaseeeeeeeee let me know Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatutoryApe Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 speaking of shaking... does anyone else's hood rattle around while driving? the sound is annoying. and has anyone else broken the bottom half of the bracket that holds the sway bar to the frame? that makes an annoying sound too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Dealer or junkyard (inspect it first!). and has anyone else broken the bottom half of the bracket that holds the sway bar to the frame? that makes an annoying sound too Yep, bent/broke both brackets on the last trail run.

Replaced, drove, then found the other fubar'd as well. Grrr. Its noticably sloppy with it busted compared to being firm before, cause I swapped out most of the front suspension bushings for poly a while back.
