Nissan Maxima Suspension Bushings

In 1981, the Japanese carmaker introduced a replacement for the Datsun 810, the Nissan Maxima. In the first generation, the vehicle came equipped with a 2.4 L inline-six engine (both diesel and gas versions were available). For the second generation, the engine of the Maxima for the North American market was upgraded to a 3.0 L V6, while the Japanese version was powered by a 2.0 L V6. It became the first mass-production vehicle in Japan, which employed a V6 engine. In 1988, the second-generation Maxima featured the Sonar Suspension System, which monitored road conditions and managed to adjust the suspension of the vehicle accordingly.

Bushings seem to be minor parts of the vehicle’s suspension, but in fact they perform three important functions. First, they provide mounting points for certain components and help to keep them in place. Second, they allow for movement of pivoting parts (for instance, control arms). And third, they absorb vibration to make your drive smooth and convenient. That is why, if you are working on the vehicle’s suspension, do not forget to replace worn-out bushings.
