Finished the first side this morning with no issues. Yahoo! The service manual says to torque the front lower shock absorber bolts with the tires on the ground in the uladen position. As low as this car is I'm not sure that's realistic without an appropriate lift.

Also removed the other front shock/spring. Took ten minutes. Go figure. I decided to take them to the local Nissan dealer five minutes from my house. If anyone is set up to do it properly I have to assume they are.

And found a screw in my tire
