2K2 Rear Clunking- AfterMarket Shocks.

Ratwayne · Oct 25th, 2002, 09:12 AM

This clunking has got to stop. It is abuse and Nissan is slow to respond. It gets worse with time and use and will not go away?

No this is not Spousal Abuse; this is Owner Abuse!!!

Owners that have had new OEM replacement shocks(one on this forum) say there is no difference. What is the cure?

Monroes(I`m told Nissan OEM`s are made by them)?

How about Koni`s????? Doctor, Doctor give me the News?

Rat, nothing yet on the aftermarket strut/shock scene. That's
assuming you don't count Altimat's $1500 adjustables...

Yeh Really, if we totatly rebuild these rides, we should have just bought a G35 Coupe it would be less expensive in the long run.

I was hoping there was something from a leading shock absorber company or something????

$1500 adjustables? Where did they come from? Are they the air shocks that you can adjust from a switch on the dash?

JIC is making a suspension for the Altima, G35, and 350Z. It should be ready near the end of the year or very early next year. JIC-Magic

I took the wife and kid in the Alti today and it was rather chilly out...... this mudder fawker was so loud my wife was bitchin about it....and I did not say a word. If my new shocks do not fix this noisy piece of shit I am going to burn it. It sounds like a $12K Kia in stead of a 30K Altima

They'll break the bank. Tokico should also have something by December per Alex.

$1,500-$2,000US is a little high.

You put your eye up, wow, that thing has an image in it. When you are clunking around with the Alty it will blurr I`m sure.

This probably has nothing to do with our cars but just seems odd that the Max has it too.
