Review on Bilstein 24-187169 5100 Series Rear Shock - Nissan Xterra 4WD, Black - Enhanced SEO by Ben Cooper

The shock absorbers work great on the 2005 Nissan Xterra Offroad. They were easy to install and came with new bushings already installed. The local Firestone store charged $550 for parts and labor. Revain saved me $400. For assembly you will need 17 and 19 mm wrenches and sockets, as well as a torque wrench. The top bolt requires 33 pounds of torque and the bottom bolt requires 148 pounds of torque. Wipe the bolts with steel wool to remove surface rust, then spray the bolts with WD40. Then try to loosen the screws. Note that the bottom bolts are difficult to remove as they were previously torqued to 148 pounds. Also, removing the spare tire makes the job easier.
