I have an 01 QX4 which needs struts, shocks and springs all around. I'm looking high and low for quick struts and can't find any, same with springs. Will 2001 Pathfinder parts work for me?

thanks in advance.

There is no quick strut for this platform (r50). yes the pathfinder parts from 2001 to 2004 will work as it is the same model really. The qx4 has some better interior and minor metal sheet differences (fenders etc..).. The engine, transfer case , transmission and suspension is the same.

Cheers.

OEM of course is the best but costly. I know that moog make some but they end up being a little shorter than oem. Many of my customers ended up fixing the height with my modular rear spacers.
moog parts : http://www.moogparts.com/find-my-part/f ... Pathfinder part number 81115

cheers.

For what it's worth... Rock auto lists that part Moog 81115 for a nissan pathfinder...But it does not list it for a QX4... I would double check before possibly wasting time & money.. There may also be a difference between the from strut coil springs & the rear coil springs.. Normally many of the parts are interchangeable...But on some occasions they aren't...Best of luck..

I got KYB Excel G struts for my 01 QX4 on Amazon. $150 for a pair. Got front springs at oreillys for about a $100, though should have gotten old man emu heavy duty for an extra 1/2" lift. Havent changed springs or shocks in the rear yet but those are widely available and not very expensive.

ps. If you go to a parts store and they say they dont have anything for the QX4, just ask them to search same year Pathfinder parts. Same thing.
