: Hyperco: Sentra Vs. NX & strut bearing replacement

Here are some pics of Ben Davis's set of Hyperco's NX spring set Vs. the Hyperco spring that is off my car ('92 Sentra). As you can see these springs are extremely close if not identical in size. The only thing that could be different would be spring rate.... I guess. However I suspicion that there might not be any difference in rate either.

Also the pics show old strut bearing which was extremely rough and caused horrible clunking noises and the new bearing which was much smoother and cured these problems thank god!

You kids have been busy. I put my new AGX's on last weekend and my thrust bearings looked somewhere in between your good new ones and bad old ones. I cleaned and greased them up real good with bearing grease and it solved my clunking (at least for now).

YES YES YES! My clunking is GONE :) Thank God. I went up to Ben's and did the other side yesterday. Now my car drives pretty much perfect! I can't believe it. It also doesn't help to have loose strut bolts! :) I'm wondering if anyone has a chronic problem with driver side loose strut bolts???
