KELMO Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 OK, I will stand corrected. Legit picking label (the white one) with dealer code and all. Now I have to call my factory rep and ask him WTF. Very glad to see you got OEM. 2 Quote Link to comment

I will post an image to the Amazon site so others are aware. 1 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 One other thing to note; On the label it indicates that these were a "VOR" order which means they paid freight to get them from Nissan. Did they whack you on freight? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I see the rubber ones are necked down or pleated like an accordion to allow the torsion bar to move up and down with the LCA motion. They are also thicker because they will compress when tightened. I don't see that happening nearly as much with the firmer poly ones. 1 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 You got lucky. Kelmo's concerns are still valid. If you read that seller's detailed reviews there are a lot of bad reviews from buyers not receiving oem parts. Buying "new" parts from Amazon or ebay is hit or miss at best unless you pay close attention, and then you still take a risk sometimes. Did you order all 4 or just 2? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 To add to my rant about the unlikelihood of OEM actually BEING OEM, there is also the ease of manufacturing counterfeit labels and packaging including Nissan Parts. Just because is says Nissan on it doesn't mean that it is. Amazon/e-Bay is a vast clearing house of crap parts. If your part was actually OEM why does it fail in two years????? 1 Quote Link to comment
