Suspension problem
1991 Nissan Maxima V6 Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 196000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
'91 Nissan Maxima; i've had a terrible rattle on the driver's side for a while now. firestone told me that my inner tie rods needed to be replaced. now i have another mechanic telling me that my rack and pinion needs to be replaced along with getting 2 new strut mounts and front struts for the driver and passenger sides. the price he quoted me for all this was $1300+, with parts and labor. he also mentioned that on these models the timing belt has a tendency to go around the 200,000 mile mark and if that were to happen than i would have sunk a whole bunch of money into the car for nothing b/c that would basically be the end. what is the least i can do to keep this car going for at least another year or two? i only paid $1000 for it to begin with.
