Expert Answers about Nissan Altima


  • Can Bikes without A Long Wheel be Used on Hollywood Racks Gordo
  • The Hollywood Racks Gordo # HRG2 is designed to carry bikes with a longer wheel base. The arms are spaced 22 inches apart so if your bikes have a location to hang them from the arms of the rack that fit that measurement it will work for you.

  • Can a 2-Inch x 8-Inch Flex Joint Connect Catalytic Converter on 2004 Nissan Altima
  • The MagnaFlow Ceramic Catalytic Converter # MF444105 that you referenced fits 3.5L V6 models of the Nissan Altima. The converters we offer for your car with the 2.5L inline 4 can be seen on the link provided. Some of these are universal-fit types that weld on, such as # MF99205HM, while others are direct fit, such as # MF93287. Note that some of these do not have an O2 port. A 2-inch-diameter flex-joint should work as long as that is the dimension of your exhaust tubing.

  • Roof Rack And Cargo Carrier Recommendation For 2014 Nissan Altima 4-Door
  • The Yakima Roof Rack System Is a good fit for your 2014 Nissan Altima 4 door. The weight capacity for the roof rack is 100 lbs. That would include the weight of any cargo box you choose added to the weight of any cargo you place in the carrier. The front crossbar is placed 15-1/8 inches from the windshield. The crossbar spread is 24 inches. You need the following parts for the roof rack: 48 inch RoundBars # Y00408 BaseLine Towers # Y28TR RoundBar Adapter # Y03536 BaseClips # Y06137 and...

  • Will Firestone Coil-Rite Air Springs Stop Sag and Bottoming Out on 2009 Nissan Altima w/20 Inch Rims
  • This is a little strange considering that a 215/60-16 tire is about 26.16 inches in diameter and a 245/35-20 is about 26.75 inches in diameter. That is a difference of only 0.59 inches which is in between 9/16 and 5/8 of an inch. Half of that extra height is applied to the upper have of the tire so only about 5/16 inches closer to the wheel well ceiling. I just assumed there was more space in the wheel well. Regardless of the wheel well space using the Firestone Coil-Rite springs # F4105...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2015 Nissan Altima With A Sunroof
  • We do have a roof rack that's designed to fit your 2015 Altima and also work with your sunroof. I recommend the Yakima Jetstream roof rack. This rack is extremely quiet because it uses aerodynamic crossbars. The crossbars are 50 inches long and constructed of lightweight aluminum and have a black powder-coat finish. It is recommended not to open the sunroof when the roof rack is installed due to interference. To order this roof rack you will need part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part #...

  • What is the Difference Between the Primus IQ Brake Controller and the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
  • There are quite a few differences. The ones you can see easily on the outside are the display and control buttons. The P2, part # 90885, uses a rotary lever on the underside for a manual over ride where as the Primus uses the older slide design that some people have problems with the slide sticking depending on how they grip and operate the slide. The P2 has several buttons on the face for adjusting settings and navigating through the menus. The Primus IQ uses a dial and one button to...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • Both wiring harnesses for the 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan require a power wire ran to the battery and an in line fuse installed. It is absolutely necessary and the trailer wiring will not work without it. More and more cars are being made with thin wiring that is not capable of handling the added power draw of trailer lights. The powered converters virtually eliminate the power draw from the vehicle wiring protecting it and other electrical components from damage. Both wiring harnesses install...

  • Compatibility of Rhino Rack Roof Rack Feet w/ Thule AeroBlade Crossbars
  • The mechanism the Rhino Rack # RRRLKVA uses to attach to the crossbars is different enough that the Rhino Rack feet wouldn't be compatible with your existing Thule AeroBlade crossbars, I'm sorry to say. I checked with Thule, and did indeed confirm that they for some reason don't offer a roof rack solution for your Altima. Your best bet would be to install a Rhino-Rack roof rack using the following parts: 44 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver Roof...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2011 Nissan Altima Sedan
  • We do have a fit for your 2011 Nissan Altima sedan; I checked with the manufacturer and can confirm that the correct fit is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11352. I have added a photo a customer sent in of this hitch installed on his Altima with a double exhaust as well so you can see how it will look on yours. If you plan on doing some light towing with your Altima you will also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118470, Curt Drawbar # C45521, Pin and Clip # F-4, and 1-7/8" Hitch...

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2015 Nissan Altima
  • If you are under the tongue weight capacity of the hitch you are good. So for your 2015 Nissan Altima we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 24796 which has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity like you mentioned. Now any time you use a hitch adapter like the # HTAD to go from 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch you cut the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent so that would not work in your case. So the only option we have would probably not be an ideal one. The part # C18110 fits your hitch size and has enough...

  • How to Carry 300 lb Motorcycle with 2007 Nissan Altima
  • The only hitch we offer for your 2007 Altima is a Class I hitch, which has a 2000 lb towing/ 200 lb tongue weight (the maximum amount of weight that can be suspended from the hitch) capacity. Using an adapter would lower the tongue weight capacity by half. It's a matter of the structure of the vehicle where the hitch attaches not being strong enough. Attempting to carry that kind of tongue weight would most likely result in the fasteners tearing out of the vehicle and the loss of the hitch...

  • Hitch System to Haul a 250 Pound Motorcycle With a 2010 Nissan Altima
  • The only class of hitch available for a 2010 Nissan Altima is a Class I hitch like the Draw-Tite, # 24796. Class I hitches have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 200 pound or less tongue weight capacity. After checking the owner's manual for the 2010, it gives a tongue weight capacity of 100 pounds. You will always want to follow the weight limitations of the component with the lowest weight rating. Towing capacity of a vehicle is determined by many factors including frame structure,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2014 Nissan Altima SL 3.5 Sedan to Attach a Cansporter Carrier
  • The 2014 Nissan Altima SL 3.5 Sedan can be fitted with a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch, such as Draw-Tite # 24796 that you referenced. The other available hitches share the same capacity but this one is a good cost-effective choice. The information you provided on the Cansporter (thank you) indicates that it is designed for 2-inches hitches, so for you to use it in a 1-1/4-inch hitch you'd need an adapter like # HTAD which converts your hitch to a 2-inch receiver opening. The thing...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe
  • I attached a link that has all of the compatible roof racks we carry for your 2009 Nissan Altima for you to check out. The Rhino Rack you referenced that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK169 has been confirmed as a fit so I would recommend it for you. Then for a kayak carrier you would want the Thule Hull-a-Port Carrier part # TH834. This is a J-style carrier that would work well to transport your kayak. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Nissan Altima
  • For your 2010 Nissan Altima the Q clips you referenced have all been discontinued by the manufacturer as they have updated their roof rack systems. To give you a roof rack for the naked roof, I recommend the Rola Rail Extreme DFE Series Roof Rack - Naked Roofs - 53" Long # R5001. This is a great option to give you an aero roof rack designed as a custom fit for your Altima. To better secure your roof rack, I recommend adding locks # 59316 as well.

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For a 2012 Nissan Altima With CVT Transmission
  • For your 2012 Nissan Altima I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler # D13503. The larger Derale # D13504 is designed for trucks that will frequently tow large trailers. I would recommend not bypassing the radiator portion of the transmission cooler as this will help to lower the fluid temperature before entering the Derale Air cooler. This is important when you get stuck in traffic as you will not have as much air moving across your Derale cooler and it will help...

  • Will the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2001 Nissan Altima and a Kona Ute
  • The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount, # TH910XT, will fit your 2001 Nissan Altima. I have included a video review below. I had to do a little research on the Kona Ute. According to what I found, the Ute is an alternative frame, cargo bike. The bike will fit on the rack but you will need to add the Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar for Hitch Bike Racks, # TH982XT. One end of the adapter clamps just below the seat, the other end clamps the bottom of the handle bars and it provides...

  • Removing the Mufflers on a 2011 Nissan Altima for Trailer Hitch Installation
  • When installing the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24796 on a 2011 Nissan Altima, you will still need to temporarily remove that portion of the exhaust as indicated in the instructions. With the band clamp instead of a flange, you will just re-install the same parts that came with the clamp when you removed it. No sealant or gasket will be required. I have included a link to the installation details and a video showing a typical installation for you. In the video, the 2010 Altima actually...

  • Available Roof Racks for 2013 Nissan Altima 4-Door Sedan
  • You are correct that Thule does not offer a roof rack for your 2013 Nissan Altima, so you will not be able to retro-fit the parts you have from your old car's Thule rack. However, we can help you select a new roof rack for the 2013 Altima that will fit properly and provide a safe and stable cargo platform for whatever you need to transport. All confirmed rack fits for your 2013 Altima can be seen on the linked page. Of all the options the one I suggest is the mid-priced Rhino-Rack ROC25...

  • What Size Hitch is Available for 2013 Nissan Altima
  • We have 1-1/4 inch hitches that fit your 2013 Nissan Altima like the # 24796 but the 2 inch hitch size is reserved for the higher capacity vehicles like trucks and SUVs which is why we don't offer this size for your vehicle.
