I recently did my rear suspension with HD Bils. Took in the fronts to have them done, and the mechanic said the the strut mounting hardware was serverely worn out, rubbed eat away some rusting etc.

Is this normal? He had to order additional parts from Nissan to replace this (6/side). Anybody run into this? Im aware of the plate and such on the top, but what else could be so worn out.

Thanks.

Seems a bit hard to swallow. The bolts are in a pretty high location, under very little stress and not exactly cheap. 6/side is throwing me for a loop also. 6 total. I would ask to see them of course. If it's as bad as he is making it sound, you would have noticed and had one hell of a hard time taking them off to take it to them. Dunno, maybe i'm thinking of the wrong thing.
