well I should of known it seemed too easy, I received the struts from CA. & what do ya know, they sent me two different cartridges.

Just when you think you've got it licked it turns around & bite's you in the a**. Back to trying to order one cartridge from Nissan & see what happens, I did order all the rear bushes at the same time since Kelmo apparently has NOT gotten the last set...yet. we'll see if anything turns up, I'm not so hopeful this time.

I pulled my old strut assembly apart yesterday to try & confirm which of the two new ones were correct & wouldn't you know the ones that were in there weren't even branded, just #'s.

Interestingly they were gas charged as I could
collapse it & it would pop back up slowly, they may still be good.

without a cartridge being in the car so you can check for rebound how does one bench test a strut cartridge aside from obvious issues like leaks?
