andrewf Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hey guys, I just got a new suspension for my 01 Pathfinder. I went with the OME HD front springs, OME MD rear springs, KYB struts, and OME shocks. My question is, what Nissan parts do you all recommend I order for this install? Do you guys replace all the front strut components or just get the strut bearing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtchal Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I just bit the bullet and replaced the whole strut mount assembly with OEM parts, well worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewf Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Probably a good idea. Mind if I ask about how much you paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtchal Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I got the struts from Rockauto, coils from Australia and the strut mount assembly from Japan and all were shipped to NZ as parts are way overpriced here. Below is the breakdown of what I paid in NZ$ including the OEM part numbers for the strut mount parts, note that the strut bearings aren't on this list as I had purchased them earlier. So should be a lot cheaper for you since your dollar is stronger and OEM parts are cheaper in the states. Hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SASQX4TCH Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) So I grabbed KYB struts and Bellows/Bump OEM Strut Bearings OME HD springs..... what factory parts can I most likely reuse pending that the wear is not bad, I have 140k on stock suspension... trying to be cheap but do it right also Edited May 2, 2020 by SASQX4TCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainGoat Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 When I did my lift the only thing I replaced were the strut bearings. My top hats and bellows were in fine condition so I re used them I replaced the bellows because I’d bought them. Otherwise I really didn’t need anything more - probably didn’t need the strut bearing but I only want to do this once. The one thing I wish I’d had was the rubber isolators for the spring ends. @hawairsh has simply used cut hose for this purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewf Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hey. Thanks for all your responses. I’ve decided that I’m going to replace almost everything. I didn’t anticipate this much of an extra cost, so I’ll have to wait a while now for the install, but I want to do it right the first time.
