Is this normal?
 
Passenger's side:

Driver's side:

The two things I can think of are that either Japan shorted me a bolt, or there is on less bolt on the driver's side to compensate for the weight of the driver; you know, to get all 50/50.

You're obviously missing the driver side bolt.

It won't impact it much But I do recommend replacing it.

It appears that the bolt was installed but has been removed.

Odd. I thought the same. Only about 1k miles and it was never on the lot.


Anyway, I'll get the dealership to get me a bolt and avail myself to some Keurig coffee, popcorn, and a hotdog while I sit in their GT-R making race car noises.

:iagree:

If your car has warranty take it to the dealer. See if they will give you the bolt for yourself to install, or if they will do the work for you.

Personally, I would prefer if they gave me the missing bolt, gratis of course, so I could install it myself and avoid having the dealer mechanics touching my car.

Feces occurs. Those bolts/nuts are pretty tight but maybe the factory screwed up and didn't get it tight enough. There's a good chance that the bolt is sitting on top of the lower engine bay cover. Have you noticed any rattles?

LOL Sounds like a plan. I'd take it easy on the front suspension until I got it replaced. Shouldn't be a big deal for a DD but Nissan put that bolt there for a reason (may not have been a good reason, but it's there for a reason).

that's so weird for you to be missing a bolt haha, see if the dealership can replace it for you free of charge

Autozone should take care of that :tup:

SPOHN 12-16-2013 09:31 PM

Looks custom up me. Lol

I would think if it came off the lot like that and you paid the "pre-delivery inspection" fee..... I would be asking for that money back.

It also looks like it is a little misaligned. Maybe they couldn't get the bolt in and the mechanic said "f... it!" :)

Just wait, cost of the bolt will be 7 dollars if you buy it from the dealer.
