My '08 Coupe 3.5 SE, 6sp is all original, just clocked 100k and is performing like the day we took it home, except...

Clunking from the front end is getting worse and both struts show leakage around the tops. I want to R&R the complete assembly instead of dealing with a spring compressor but have trouble sourcing parts.

The 3.5 Coupe has different part numbers for the strut (and they are considerably more expensive than 3.5 sedan struts) and none of the usual suppliers seem to have what I'm looking for.

Any help finding a supplier for the assembly (Nissan OEM is build it from parts bin pieces) would be appreciated and as I said I want the entire assembly.

Thanks!

Resolved my situation.

While Nissan OEM does show unique struts for the 3.5 Coupe, I have learned aftermarket suppliers do not offer them and sedan strut assemblies for the 3.5 will work. Spring rates may be different but mainly apprent on a track.

Let you know for sure when my pair arrive next week and I R&R.
