That was super helpful for my 2011 Quest. I couldn't find any videos showing how to get that top nut off. Followed exactly what you did with the impact drill and it came right off (after hours of trying other methods before seeing your video). Thank you for making this and putting out there. God bless!
I do not really have the proper tools and my local mechanic says my alignment cant be fixed because I need to replace the shocks and struts all around and the control arm in the front. He said even if I tried to align it, it wont do anything. Says looking around 3k to fix it all. Does that sound about right for my 2012 Nissan Quest?
NEVER WORK UNDER A CAR WITHOUT JACK STANDS! They're cheap and will save your life. Never trust the jack to hold. That scissor jack isn't meant for repetitive use, it's meant to quickly change a flat tire on the side of a road in an emergency.
I have a 2011 and I want to update the suspension. Could you say what the spring there in the rear is for? I assume it's part of the suspension - do you change those if you're changing the rear struts?
Yes, the springs are part of the suspension, but you shouldn't need to replace them. You can probably just replace the struts and be fine - they usually go out and the springs don't usually.
