live2themaxuk Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi all after doing some suspension lowering at the weekend, i need to replace a few nuts and bolts that are corroded and burred, i just got a quote for 2x bolts and 2x nuts that hold the bottom of the front strut onto the from axle and they want £15!! what the hell, they are nothing special?! Any ideas of an alternative parts supplier for OEM parts? cheers Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Surely these are standard metric items - there has to be someone making those in the world - even in the country dare I say it? I suppose you need to know the diameter thread size etc etc.. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike@mjpauto Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 With Nissan nuts and bolts, run of the mill stuff is usually in the price range 0.10 to £2.00 or so. When the price hikes up it usually means that there is something odd about the part which makes it "captive" to Nissan parts department sales. There are, however, extensive pricing anomalies in the Nissan system! Wherever possible, MJP (Eastern Auto) offer OEM parts sourced through the Nissan systems but offered at discount rates to enthusiasts as a result of our bulk buying discounts. This may only be a few % on nuts and bolts, but as much as 20% off Nissan list on service items, clutch parts and brakes (most, not all - Brembo parts are expensive!).
