New to the forums here. Thanks for having me. The passenger side rear suspension shackle of my 2004 Titan SE (Crew) has either rusted loose or split a bad weld and smashed through my bed. Wouldn't seem like something that should happen <60K miles. I'm out of warranty but trying to harass Nissan in to taking care of me...

Has anyone seen this before?

do a search there are a bunch of people this has happen to.good luck getting nissan to repair it,happen to mine a couple of weeks ago and when i called the 800 number they stated that they have never heard of this happen before and they have never had any complaints

This will more than likely happen to all 04-07 Titans. It's just a matter of time.

If you can't get Nissan to cover the costs replace it with the 08+ or the PRG shackles. Sorry to hear about that man. I saw a previous thread about that problem and replaced mine to prevent that from happening.

Oh cool. doubtful Nissan will hook me I'm sure I will need to come out of pocket and replace this one and the driver side before that goes. will look in to these 08+ or PRG.

Yeah honestly its a pretty cheap part and an easy install. I know most people will tell you to just go with the 08+ shackle but I went with the PRG set and I am happy with my purchase. They are beefy and overbuilt and in my opinion its always better to replace a broken stock part with a well made aftermarket part.

Maybe you should speak with the same female rep from Nissan that Rob128 did. Maybe she will be more dumb founded..
