The old suspension was very difficult to get off due to some corrosion. Once that was removed, the strut masters, struts and shocks were absolutely super easy to install and work like a dream. The week we installed them, my family left for a trip from Southern Ohio to Central Florida and the car drove better than it has in a long time.
Parts seem sturdy. Got it installed myself with a little muscle and YouTube knowledge. It's a great thing to never have to worry about air ride failure again.
Llegó un poco tarde pero cumplió mis expectativas tengo un 2017 Nissan armada platinum prácticamente nuevo las bolsas de aire trabajan cuando quieren cambie todo siguió haciendo lo mismo . Gracias a strutmasters que si expertos en suspensión arregle mi problema
Very professional very helpful kept me up to date when product was ready to ship was right on the timing they told me from the start. Product is holding up so far.
Bolts up nice and no lights on in the dash indicating there's a problem great replacement worth the money if I had an opportunity I would have used this set the first time I tried to fix the problem instead of buying some cheap stuff off eBay
Got rid of the bags in my 19 Armada, and replaced them with SM conversion kit, struts and shocks. Immediately felt the difference. Not as much bouncing around, dont have to wait on inflation of air bags, rear sag due to uninflated bags, and not to mention how easy the swap was! I now need to replace the front suspension, and will be ordering what I need from Strut Masters.
My local mechanic installed these in 1.5 hrs .immediately removed sag from back end of vehicle, smoothed out ride and took away boat rocking feel from failed compressor/ air shocks- highly recommended
Pretty straight forward process by installer other than difficulty due to rust on the original air shocks. It’s nice to not have the back sag and definitely improved the driving experience.
Driving appears as it should be. Kit installed by competent garage shop on same day that front OEM Nissan struts got replaced. Satisfied but only tiny issue if it is one, is that the back sits about 3/8-1/2 inch lower than the front.
After a few costly repairs of my Armada's rear suspension, I decided to purchase and install a conversion kit. I'm not a mechanic, but I had an issue with a nut that got stripped that was welded on the lower control arm. I called support and they recommended i use a tap and try to rethread the nut. It worked great and I'm back on the road. Thanks for your products and thanks for your technical support.

Convert Your Air Suspension To A Passive Coil Spring Suspension. End Your Air Suspension Problems Forever...
Strutmasters 2016-2023 Nissan Armada Rear Air Suspension Conversion Kit. This is the perfect solution to your air suspension problems. Designed to be very affordable, you can convert your ENTIRE air suspension system to use passive shocks and coil springs for LESS than the price of replacing just ONE Original Equipment air shock. Plus, each of our conversion kits includes step-by-step instructions to ensure a smooth and easy installation.
This kit ONLY works for air suspension. This does not fit models with a hydraulic suspension.
Replaced Components
The 2016-2023 Nissan Armada is built with the following suspension components:
2016-2023 Nissan Armada Rear Air Shocks (x2) - A rubber bladder atop the shock itself fills with air to automatically keep the vehicle level and assist with the ride quality. The rubber portion of the air shock is the most common cause of leaks in the air system. The rubber portion develops cracks due to normal wear and tear and dry rot from exposure to the elements. The cracks leak air from the system and cause the onboard compressor to work overtime.
2016-2023 Nissan Armada Height Sensors (x2) - A linkage located near each wheel that constantly measures the height of the vehicle and reports this information back to the control module (computer). The ride height sensor is a moving part and they will eventually wear out.
2016-2023 Nissan Armada Front Coil-over Struts (x2) - Metal tubing filled with gas-charged hydraulic fluid (similar to a shock absorber) that is connected to the wheel of a vehicle in order to reduce bouncing motion and vibration caused by travel on rough surfaces. Coil-over struts have a coil spring seated at the top which controls the height of the vehicle. Over time, the fluids leak out of the struts from millions of up and down cycles and they need to be replaced. Coil springs can become weakened on a high-mileage vehicle, too.
2016-2023 Nissan Armada Air Lines - Tubes that carry pressurized air to the rubber bladder in the air shocks.
2016-2023 Nissan Armada Air Compressor Assembly - Creates and sends pressurized air to the rear air shocks. When the air suspension starts leaking, the compressor (also known as an air pump) starts working harder to try to keep the system inflated. By the time air suspension leaks down completely, the compressor will either have failed totally or it will still run, but no longer be able to make enough air to do the job.
2016-2023 Nissan Armada Dryer - Prevents moisture build-up inside of air suspension parts.
2016-2023 Nissan Armada Suspension Control Module - A computer responsible for the operations of the air suspension system and maintaining the vehicle's correct ride height.
Suspension Failure Signs
The most common symptom of a leaking or failed air suspension is a sudden loss of two to four inches of ride height in the rear of the vehicle. Other symptoms could include a suspension warning message or light in the instrument cluster and/or an air compressor no longer working or running way too often (which would be very noisy and noticeable). Failed rear air shocks will also result in poor ride quality in the rear of the vehicle. For the best chance of repair, experienced technicians recommend a complete overhaul of the air suspension system by replacing all of the major components. This type of repair is expensive! And that's why a Strutmasters conversion kit is such a popular alternative.
OEM Replacement Cost
+ Air Shocks ($220 /air shock)
+ Compressor and Dryer Assembly ($650 )
+ Coil Springs ($100 /spring)
= Over $1290 (but that doesn't include replacing electronic components that are known to fail such as the height sensors).
Aftermarket Replacement Cost
+ Compressor and Dryer Assembly
+ Air Shocks
= Over $650 (but that doesn't include replacing electronic components that are known to fail such as the height sensors).
Why Strutmasters
The air suspension system on the 2016-2023 Nissan Armada relies on an assortment of complicated and expensive parts that must always work in unison. When one part breaks, the rest of the system follows suit. Experienced technicians recommend a complete overhaul of the system, replacing all of the major components, to have a high success rate of repair. Instead of spending hundreds, even thousands going through the entire system, consider a money-saving conversion kit from Strutmasters. The kit provides a pair of passive shocks that bolt right in place of the expensive air shocks, plus a new pair of coil springs tuned to work with the new passive suspension. The conversion kit gets rid of the dependence on high-tech, expensive parts and fixes the vehicle once and for all.
Each Strutmasters conversion kit is designed, assembled, sold, shipped, and serviced at their family-owned facility in North Carolina. The quality parts are more reliable than the originals and backed by a 1-year warranty. Customers appreciate the detailed instructions and online installation videos which help them get the kit installed in about one hour per wheel. Tech support is available for Strutmasters customers. Last, but not least, is the savings: The cost of the kit is a fraction of the prices of direct replacement at the Nissan dealer or individual aftermarket part replacement.
