Genuine Nissan Shocks & Struts

Sports cars and NISMO

Performance models have their own dampers, and the version matters. E6B10-1A31A is listed for the 350Z with NISMO. On the current Z, E6210-6GP0B is listed for cars without NISMO. For the GT-R, E6110-6HW0A is a right side damper listed for the NISMO and Track Edition from April 2023. Installing the wrong one changes how the car rides and turns in.

Everyday cars and crossovers

Crossovers and sedans are split by drivetrain and powertrain. E6210-6MA1A is listed for the AWD Rogue Sport, E6210-6CC0C for the AWD Altima, and E6210-5AF0B for the Murano with the hybrid powertrain. The Versa has E6210-9KM0A and the Sentra E6210-3SH0C. Large SUVs follow the same rule: E6210-6JR1A is the Armada Platinum part for trucks on 22 inch wheels.

Mounts, bumpers and bolts

A strut is only as good as what holds it. This page lists strut mounts, strut bumpers and strut bolts, and replacing the mount and bumper with the strut is the easiest way to avoid a new clunk a few weeks later. The grid also includes liftgate support strut holders, which are a different part; use the vehicle filter to narrow the list.

Some dampers are sold by side

Not every shock or strut fits both sides. The GT-R part above is listed for the right side only, and many front struts come as separate left and right parts. Check the side noted on the listing, and order the matching part for the other corner at the same time, so both sides of the axle wear in together. Strut bolts are listed separately as well.

Signs of worn dampers

Bouncing after a dip, a nose that dives under braking, body roll in turns, cupped tires or oil on the shock body all point to worn dampers. Replace them in pairs across the axle, and check the alignment afterward. Related pages: suspension parts, brakes, 350Z parts and Frontier parts.
