jasenpeters Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) 1995 - Nissan Pathfinder - XE-V6, Manual (4WD design, but no 4WD) All, Had an accident during the recent (2021-Feb/Mar) ice storm here in ATX. Slid across MoPac and busted up the front/rear passenger wheel components. Namely, as the title says, I need to start with the Compression / Tension Rod (name, according to repair manuals). Sheared it right in half. I'm having trouble finding a replacement online. I just want to be sure, before going with a Nissan dealer, that there is or is not a more reputable (or well priced) alternative elsewhere. My local quote was about $105+ (per rod) from the dealer. Also, any recommendations for the remaining components up for consideration: - Strut / Shock Absorber - Lower Link - Upper Link - Torsion Bar Spring These items are all general components of the front suspension/steering, and it may require a complete rebuild (no problem, come what may). I understand that there may be many more sub/supporting components necessary. Thanks. PS: Please advise on how to get pics larger than 80k per post. Resolution becomes illegible at that size.

Slartibartfast Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Wrecking yard is probably your best bet. The strut rods often have wear issues where they go through the hole in the frame bracket, so get a good look at them before buying them. Unfortunately the only way to get decent-sized pictures into a thread here is to host elsewhere and link in. Sounds like the Tapatalk app has a picture host built in, I haven't tried it myself.
