2001 Pathy needs rear shocks

spamman · Jan 27th, 2008, 01:50 PM

While I was under my 2001 SE pathfinder 5spd I saw the tubes to the stock rear shocks looked really bad. All rusted and some rusted parts missing. So can someone suggest good shocks for my truck? I like the sealed ones if possible (with boot). Thoughts about Rancho etc? Also where is the best place to get them (price?)?

KYB's are nice shocks. I wouldn't go with Rancho's, they're a stiff shocks, very stiff from what I can remember.

I just bought KYBs from TireRack... they were the best price at ~$50 ea

If you want Rancho, try Sams OffRoad (Sams Rancho Products - Best Price - Right Here- Right Now!)... They have great service, but I ended up returning my ranchos back to the manufacturer cause of another problem... of which, if your truck is sagging, change your springs while you are at it... it'll save you from wasting a good pair of new shocks.

I always go with KYB's....Not only do they make a good shock, but they are an OEM supplier of shocks and struts to Nissan, as is Tokico.
