OK I just managed to take it to the dealer for the recall...and they say I have blown upper links rear. Is this an ez fix? Cheap? And what are the repercussions of not getting it fixed...? :ohno: :ohno:

yeah its an easy fix but kinda labor intensive.... u gotta either replace the entire link or press new bushings into your existing links.

Cheap? Polyurethane bushings from 4x4parts.com cost about $50 and will last longer than your truck.... entire links from nissan will probably run you a few hundred, will last just as long as your first ones did, but easier to install than bushings.... labor probably a couple hundred if you dont do it yourself



repercussion is handling will suck.
