You have to replace the strut rod bushing there are two in each strut rod inner and outer bushing then you could tight them again. the one you have is already shrink.
A "strut" is a rod or bar forming part of a framework and designed to resist compression as such it is used to reinforce the shelf by preventing it sagging in the middle. So ti is located in the middle.
A strut is a rod or bar designed to resist compression.
With "strut rod" shims. Shim the outer side, of the inner strut rod bushing with washer style shims. Shim according to how much more caster you need.
Rod should be rather hard to move. If you compress the rod into the strut it should come back out on its own power -RC-
No.
The top of the strut rod should be flattened slightly into a rectangular shape. It should be enough that you can take a crescent wrench and hold the flattened part with it. Use an open end wrench for the nut, putting it on first, then the crescent. Turn them opposite directions to loosen the nut.
Remove wheel at that side. Loosen jamb nut (on inner tie rod.) Remove cotter pin, outer tie rod to strut, if equipped. Remove nut, outer tie rod to strut just a bit. If a ball joint separator (separator fork) of suitable size is available, separate tie rod end from strut using said fork, otherwise repeatedly strike strut (sharply) near tie rod with a large (5 lbs. to 20 lbs.) hammer until it comes free. Turn the outer tie rod end counterclockwise until it comes out of the car. Put a bit of wheel bearing grease on the threads of the inner tie rod end. Screw outer tie rod onto inner tie rod until it contacts jamb nut; then, back off until orientation is correct to insert into strut. Tighten nut. If equipped, install cotter pin. Install wheel. Perform wheel alignment.
The cost to replace a front strut rod bushing on a 1998 Nissan Maxima is between $50 and $150, for a person who does it on their own. The cost varies based on the part brand or kit bought.
most likely it is a cv joint going bad, but it can also be a strut tower, or a tie rod... front right strut
