2005 Nissan Maxima 4dr Sedan
265-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD
| 141000 mi US $800 |
Replaced struts on all 4 corners, all spring perches/rests. Shock absorbers were completely toast in the rear and mostly dead at the front. Springs should be okay for another 140,000 miles. Handling is now sublime! Replaced both rear wheel hubs. Bearings were fine, rust had accumulated in the hubs causing ABS wheel speed sensor failure. (Expensive, ouch). Sensors are useless now, must be replaced at a later date. Drilled larger drain holes per TSB. |
| 153000 mi US $800 |
ABS actuator failed in October of 2014, this was the final attempted fix--replaced one of the replacement wheel hubs that had a bad "tone ring" preventing the wheel's replacement ABS sensor from working. |
