The shocks they should have put on your car is on the TSB, there different than what came on the car when it was new. Do you have a copy of the TSB? if not do you want one. whats your fax#?

Thanks, I took the TSB into my dealer because they were unable (or just too stupid) to locate it.
My shocks are not in as of yet

WTF ..that TSB number names a different shock?
The TSB names a new updated shock #56210-AL585, There more money and there updated shocks!!
Here's the break down.
2002 Altima oringinal part# on shocks.
QR25DE 56210-8J026
QR35DE 56210-8J025
2002 TSB shock#56210-AL585
2003 Altima takes completely different shocks.
part#56210-3Z025 for both applications.
So what's that tell ya! it means they had a problem in 2002.
So in 2003 they went to a different shock.

Originally posted by wild willy I want to get this right...I am a little thick...
So when I go to the dealer...I must make sure the part No. on the shocks is 56210-AL585???
Does this mean Nissan is putting the bad ones back into some cars???
Yes, that's correct when you pick up your car that should be the part# on your work order. However the TSB says they do not apply on every car. So on some cars they may use the old shocks, but they shouldn't, if they do it could be they don't know about the TSB. Remember it's not a recall so they might not be aware that there's a TSB. Not all dealership employees are as sharp as I am!

I also went online with Nissan to check the availability of all the shock part#s old and new. There all available the old and the new so watch which part# they install on your car, make sure they use the updated ones. I hope everyone gets this problem fixed. If for some reason the new shocks doesn't solve your problem you may have to start over and try something else. As for hidden TSB's there really isn't any, you just have to find a tech that knows his product.
