Heres the deal i was driving my Maxima a few days ago and i hit a good size bump down some back road. The second i hit the bump my car started to free rev. None of my gears would work? I had my dad come and help tow the car home. I finally had time to look at it today and it looks like i fucked my axle and some other bracket up. I need to know what the hell this break would be called and where to find it. The car is a 96 maxima SE i believe without ABS. How do i find out if the car has ABS or not. I told my insurance company that i do have it for better rates but i belive it doesnt have it.

 

the piece is attached to the axle, its right before the first boot on the axle. this is alittle better pic

 

Here is the bracket off the car

 

damn...was it on a city street? you can sew the city for damage to your car if it was...my bro bent his rim on a pothole, and they gave him like $300 even though it was a $600 rim.

 

yeah it was down a side road off of Grand blv. in Holiday near my house. I might look into that.

 

go to a junk yard and get that bracket, put a new axle in if your old one is bad and call it a day. there will be a ring around the inside of your brake rotor or possibly on the outside of your axle with a bunch of studs sticking up (almost looks like a small gear) if you have abs.. ill try to find a pic so you can understand what im talking about.

 

here is a pic of the abs ring on a gm. If you have one f these on your axle or your brake rotor you have abs. if you don't you do not have abs. i almost positive it should be on your axle if you have it (it usually is with fwd cars).

 

thanks for the help bro

 

well i found out the part number its 39780-31000 and its $127 at Nissan. I called alot of junk yards with no luck. So i guess im going to see if i cant get it welded tomorrow. Its cast iron and i was told that it prob wont hold up. Who knows .......

 

did you try gagels auto parts? I dont know the number but its on 78th street in tampa. I believe it is an import junkyard.
