Hello everyone I have a little bit of a dilema. I have a 1991 nissan 240sx with megan street coilovers all around and recently I discovered that my front driver side coilover is blown and I just want to know if anyone knows where or how I can get a replacement shock or coilover for a decent price. How I know the coilover is bown is because when I jack the cars front wheels off of the ground I could move my drivers side shock up and down with ease but when I tried to move my passenger side shock it wouldnt even really move it was stiff. Oh and also I hear the driver side shock clunk when im going slow over a speed bump. I also tried to spin the nut that is the top of the coilover and it just spins around without stopping or getting tight. If anyone knows anything that can help please let me know and before anyone says it. I DID SEARCH BEFORE POSTING THIS I PROMISE!!

I thought Megan rebuilds were in the $150-180 range per strut. Don't quote me on that, I think I just read that somewhere. It just seems logical considering you can get a brand new full set for $800...
