Replacing the front struts Nissan Qashqai

The first and second generations have differences between themselves; they occur within each generation, and, as a rule, there are several types. For the standard configuration of cars, racks from two manufacturers are used - Tokile. Two-pipe aortizers, with a gas-oil esophagus, mainly work on the porridge. According to the reviews of most drivers, they are a little harsh. Tokico stands have less resource than Saxons.

All A-pillars on the Nissan Qashqai collection at the annual and right. Qashqai J10 front shock absorbers are conventionally divided into 3 types. The first 2 types stand among themselves only in size. The type also has differences in size (in particular, a greatly increased stroke) and was installed on cars equipped with the “bad roads” package.

On the second generation, it is also qashqai j11, the front shock absorbers were divided depending on whether the car was assembled in English or Russian. The difference between them is that the racks on Russian cars are worse for domestic roads, and they are also slightly higher. The English assembly car is very popular, in particular, in the domestic market, since it began to spend the first year of its Russian counterpart. See the table for numbers and dimensions.

edges. The key categorically did not fit on 19, I tried it from 2 sets. I needed a key for 20 in my case. I had to bore the 19th on the machine, and then everything turned out fine. I don’t know what kind of stabilizer bars they are, and what companies they are, there are no identification marks on them (the expected owner put it) But nevertheless they are completely alive
