| I have an 05 Nissan Altima with 6,700 miles on it. Just had right strut replaced today under warranty. They said it was a recall.
How can a strut die so soon? I don't get it? They didn't do the right, so with my luck it will die soon also. Any ideas? |

| I see I'm not alone from reading that post. Actually Nissan said it's a big problem with some 05 Maxima's and Altima's. I just don't know enough about cars to understand how a strut could go bad so soon? I looked at the new one, or from what I could see under the wheel well. Doesn't look like it does much or is breakable. |

| " Doesn't look like it does much or is breakable " Well it just happends to stop your wheel from bouncing all over he#@ll.When it leaks you have a steering control problem. Bottom line. The strut and spring combo holds your car up. |

| " Doesn't look like it does much or is breakable " well, all the internals are subject to engineering shortfalls, cost cutting measures, bad design etc. Bad seals, bad clearances, they can fail like anything else if not designed right. |
