PivoArch Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I am noticing that in the service manual the bolts for the rear shocks have an 'X' next to them. Does anyone know if this means they should not be reused? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Lord I hope not. I reused mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erathge Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I reused mine too.. But you are correct, the X beside bolts in the FSM means "always replace after every disassembly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anyone know the shock bolts thread size?? I orderred new shocks but I doubt they come with new nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 It's common sense... If they are rusty don't reuse them. If they are fine you can re-use them again. Maybe Nissan used conical nuts or bolts with thread locker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 FSM says they are to be replaced everytime they are removed. Mine just looks crummy and I was hoping I could grab one from Lowes in stainless steel before the install so Im hoping someone knows the thread size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) The FSM says to replace the rear shock nuts, not the bolts. [089128421A] NUT (top bolt) [089129441A] NUT-SELF L (bottom bolt) The washer between the lower stud and the nut apparently can be reused. For what, $3.xx per side I'd just replace them.

ltsnotme Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So did anyone ever measure the size of the rear shock nuts? Going to change out the shocks this weekend and wanted to get new nuts ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
