I feel play in my stabilizer end links. Courtesy parts lists 2 front stabilizer links for the front suspension of the R50. $8 a piece price difference but the descriptions seem to say they are for the same vehicle??

Its for a 2wd 3.5L auto qx4

Your link is broken a couple of ways. Could you post the part numbers you found?

And those prices seem REALLY high for a rubber donut.

I see why they are pricy -- you need to replace the link as the rubber is integral with the link.

Dunno why there are two part numbers. Is there are part number stamped on your current links?
The difference in the two part numbers indidcates some sort of running change, but there's no info on when they did it,
and whether the two are interchangeable. It may have been as simple as a vendor switch, or harder or softer rubber in
the bushings.

You might have already ordered, but, just FYI, there's another vendor out there "FactoryNissanParts.com".

I just ordered strut mounts from them.
IIRC you're in Canada, so I'm not sure if they ship international or not.

Anyway, I think this is the front link you're looking for:
FactoryNissanParts link
I'm sure you can email/call them (toll free?) and confirm with them the part you really need.

it's $35 from FactoryNissanParts (also located in Texas,USA). Shipping&Handling should be about the same as Courtesy.
