People who know their Nissan Maxima know how important the Struts are for suspesions, handling, cornering and basic overall drivability. That's where new Tokico Strut Mounts and Boots come into the equation. Manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, they not only enhance the safety, but performance and appearance of your vehicle as well.

Strut Mounts play a key role in your vehicle’s handling, ride control, braking, alignment and steering. Mounts basically keep the engine and transmission from vibrating excessively on the frame, and provide a smoother ride and greater handling response from the vehicle. The top of the engine would be unsupported and damage to the drive train would occur without the mounts.

The mounts are located on top of the strut assemblies and provide pivot points and mounting locations for the struts. When replacing the assembly, always replace the strut mounts.
If mounts need to be replaced, use extreme caution. The spring is under hundreds of pounds of pressure, and if the gland nut holding the strut mount to the strut assembly is undone without compressing the spring, you could inflict serious damage to yourself and anyone around you. Keep in mind, the suspension will have to be realigned after changing the strut mounts. If you do not have the correct tools, take the strut assembly to a professional garage.
The strut mounts keep the wheel perpendicular to the road and if a mount should break, it can cause the tire to ride slanted putting uneven pressure on it shortening the lifespan of the tire and possibly risking a blowout. It is very important to check the strut mounts and keep them in good working order.
Loud knocking noises going over bumps are an indication that one or more strut mounts have failed. If steering seems more difficult when turning, this may be another way to tell if the strut mounts have gone out or are in need of maintanance. Tokico Struts Strut Mounts for Nissan Maxima.
