Nissan Patrol ZD30 2007 - 2016 HubRotors & Pads $
A great upgrade to restore your ZD30 CRD Patrols braking power is to change the rotors and pads. A long with changing the brake fluid. This will return your Patrols braking capabilities to like the day the vehicle rolled off the showroom floor. We suggest our Tora brake pads as they are a great compound that is not too harsh on your rotors.
This is a cheap fix.
Shocks $
By now your Patrol has faced many years of being abused off road. So, we suggest upgrading/replacing your shocks. This will breathe life back into your patrols ride handling. Oil shocks over time will lose performance because of heating and cooling over their lifetime. This will make the oil foam up and lose viscosity reducing the shocks performance.
This is an affordable fix.
Suspension Bushings $
Bush kits are a great way to bring steering rigidity back to your Patrol. Bushings wear over time due to use, dirt and different oils. You have two options you can upgrade to Polyurethane bushings that are able to withstand harsh treatment, oil and dirt. Or you can go a softer rubber bushing which is what Nissan uses from the factory.
This is an affordable fix.
Lift Kit $$
Lift Kits are a great option to completely overhaul your Patrols suspension setup. When selecting a lift kit you're able to make sure the springs match your vehicles weight requirements that you might need due to dual batteries, bull bar etc while also having the advantage of adding extra height so your Patrol has extra clearance for larger tyres.
This is an affordable fix.
