i went over a high *** fkn curb when i was turning right.im very lucky my tires dident pop, rims or anything broke from suspension.

i hit the front frame rail that goes straight across from front to the end of car.then it hit the back suspension stick, the one that goes across and basicly holds both of the wheels because nissan was to cheap to make them independent -.-

anyways my question is my oil pan is kinda curved, like on a slant and its not all straight like it is supposed to be.

can someone check their maxima out and tell me if theirs curves also? i tried looking online but i cant find it. yet

uhm...whaddya drive? do you mean the shape of the pan? i'd look but it's dark out - i think one side is diagonal though.

Um, nope. That's not the case, man. I'm not the authority on this but I believe they did solid axle on the rear end of these cars to compliment the suspension tuning intended to create a certain handling characteristic.

also it's cheaper to repair a solid axle than independant
