I'm going to replace my struts and shocks in my 2001 Pathfinder. I was wondering what ones I should go with. At this point I was thinking about getting the KYB G2 struts and the KYB gas shock absorber. Any input would be appreciated. Also, I was planning on replacing the strut mounts as well.

Thanks,Mike

KYB GR2's are great, stiff and strong. KYB is what Nissan used as OEM, so you can't go wrong with those. Definitely replace the strut mount unless it looks pristine. If it looks new, I would just replace the strut bearing. I did that on mine and things are just fine. Also, don't forget to put new sway bar links on, that's recommended in the FSM.

Good luck!

Sounds good! I didn't know about the linkage! Thanks for the heads up. I will order the parts today.
