The rear struts are unique to the 4WD models. They are longer. The only place I could find that had them was Nissan. My dealer parts man found a set about 8 years ago for me. There may be more, so check with your local Nissan parts dept.

If not, I would imagine that you could possibly match up your old ones and find struts from another make/model car that can be swapped in.

For the rest of the rear suspension parts, again I got all of mine from the dealer. I replaced both rear control arms and all of my rear bushings last winter. Bought all of the hardware too, as the bolts and rear eccentric cam toe adjusters were all frozen and had to be torched off. The bushings weren't actually bad, but after burning the bolts off with a torch, they all [of course] melted.

Let us know what you find.

Mike

P.S. Can you post a few pics of your new ride?
