Shocks & Struts para Nissan 200SX

Shocks and Struts for the Nissan 200SX

The 200SX model is a car that was released in the late 1990s and is often recognizable to car enthusiasts. Nissan designed its aesthetics, performance, and engine to be unique in the auto industry. Also, the automaker created it to have the option of interchangeable coilovers to give it street racing capabilities, which may have helped make the Nissan 200SX a successful car.

The two generations of the 200SX model were released back to back, close to the start of the century, and did fairly well in a market that was never a Nissan engine’s forte. Both Nissan cars inherited the 140-horsepower, 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine from the Nissan Sports Coupe model and are quite similar on the performance front. Their main differences can be seen when viewing the bodyworks. The 200SX SE exhibits a sportier and more aggressive look while the Sentra 200SX takes the noble Nissan framework of the 90’s sedan.

Vehicle owners can find the labyrinth of hoses and wires that is the engine but may not be able to identify the struts from the shocks at the base of their Nissan. The shocks on the car are charged with one responsibility and one responsibility only: to prevent the vehicle from bouncing. Struts, on the other hand, are that structural part of the Nissan’s suspension system that is mounted to the vehicle’s chassis and come down through. They provide the surface onto which the spring coil is mounted. Full package suspension kits are available.

For a vehicle with an engine that is always on the go, checking the base to view the rear coilovers is something drivers should do more often than with ordinary shocks. Both front and rear coilovers can be rebuilt and the rate at which the driver will have to consider doing this varies from model to model and with use. The Nissan’s coilovers can take the driver two to three years without necessitating the need to obtain a replacement kit, and that’s for the rear pair. Front coilovers can last even longer, but it’s only advisable that consumers obtain a coilover kit for both pairs whenever there’s need to change one of the pairs. It’s worthwhile to note that even though the vehicle’s engine and coilovers may feel solid after extended use, the driver should view the base at least once every 80,000 miles to see if they need another coilover kit.
