Replying to: sysadmin1 (Sep 16, 2001 10:19 am) When you say Tokico Strut, what model in particular?   I'm interested using the HP(blue) one. Anybody using the Illumina?   Thanks.
#8902 of 8972 Navigation by bergoniac Sep 03, 2006 (9:52 am)
I just moved to Hawaii and realize that the Navigation doesn't work on my 2005 Maxima SL. Contacted the company that makes the map DVD and told me that they have no plans on ever mapping Hawaii on DVD. So the question: Can you replace the navigation system with an after market Navigation system that works in Hawaii?

My 2002 seems overly harsh over bumps and has a bounce/jounce to it. Can you tell me more about the replacements you had to get?

Replying to: kyleknicks (Sep 07, 2006 10:22 am) Did you hit something with your tires (like a curb or a corner)? If so, that could loosen the tires and cause a bit of play between the tires and your wheel axle/hub. Put the car on a lift, spin the wheels to see if there is any play, and tighten if necessary. Just my hunch.

Replying to: kyleknicks (Sep 07, 2006 10:22 am) I have a 2000 SE. My car was doing the same thing except it was on the right side.In short, I replaced the front wheel bearing. I saved around $800.00 doing it myself. You can buy parts online and save about 40% on price than you can get at dealer. If you are mechanically inclined and have a really good press, then go for it. Don't let your friend who "thinks" he can do it. It is not a bad job but one that takes time and know how.Torgues are very important too. Get a manual. MJ9981
#8907 of 8972 2006 vs 2007 by autoboy16 Sep 17, 2006 (12:00 pm)
How is the 2007's CVT? Its it better to get the 06? I mean the 06 does have 10 more horses. The interior on the 07 is nicer but i never saw anything wrong with the 06 other than the clutter. Any comments on the MPG? I see the fog light difference but is the visibility that much difference?   -Cj Replies to this message: dhamp (Mar 12, 2007 1:55 pm)

Replying to: maximafan (Aug 11, 2006 5:34 pm) )) "I'm sorry, dmaljunk, I don't recall mentioning the brand name on the struts, but I would assume they're probably McPherson's? I know that's what I had on my 1988 Mazda RX-7 back in the eighties. Also, I'm not sure if the struts would be different on the GLE." ((   I realize I'm late to the party with a comment on maximafan's post, but the McPherson naming convention is in reference to the Scottish-born Ford of England engineer who devised the simplified coil-over-strut style suspension system that uses only a lower control arm to locate the wheel hub laterally and longitudinally. It's not a brand name. Neither Ford nor Mr. McPherson patented the design, so it's in general use worldwide. Though the componentry is always basically similar, it's never intentionally interchangeable from one automaker to another. The struts, themselves - essentially shock absorbers - would probably be internally valved differently in the Maxima than the Altima even though they might be physically similar enough to be interchanged. There're also unnamed variants of the McPherson concept in wide use that add an upper control arm to the mix.
#8910 of 8972 Fuel Grade for '97 Maxima by ccmbduong1 Sep 24, 2006 (4:26 am)
Please give us a scientific reason why we can't switch from a mid grade fuel to reg grade fuel for a 10-yr old Maxima. Thanks
