Update April 17, 2020 - five years in and these bags continue to perform well. Not a single leak, hold air well and consistently and keeps the 16 year old Murano dead level regardless of load. I use a portable inflator kept in the trunk to add air when I’m carrying a heavy load or towing. Otherwise, I keep the airbags at about 20-25 psi. Oh - and I have had the pressure as high as 50 psi without any issues (I was carrying a trunk load of bagged topsoil and landscaping rocks in the trunk). Made for a very firm ride, but very controlled thanks to the airbags. Highly recommend and upping my rating to five stars.
Original Review June 7, 2015 - I have these on my 2004 Nissan Murano SE. Unlike the other Nissan reviewer, I did not have the creaking/squeaking noise at all. In fact, there is no noise whatsoever. Super quiet and cranks up the rear of the car well, keeping it all very level. Initial inflation was set to 35 lbs and it dropped to 31 lbs 24 hours later. The instructions say that a 2-4 psi loss of pressure over 24 hours for initial inflation was normal. I'm only a bit over 24 hours from install and inflation so we'll see in the next couple of days.
Install was super easy and when I supported the rear of the car on jack stands at the frame, the suspension dropped more than enough to allow the compressed bags to squeeze in between the springs. In fact, I was able to insert them all by hand without tools. Total install time with line routing and connections was about an hour- and only because I took my time (measure twice, cut once!) and routed the air hoses carefully. I mounted the fill valve on the lower portion of the rear bumper. Others on the Nissanmurano.org website have drilled a location right below the fuel filler cap behind the fuel filler door. I didn't want to drill into metal and used the rear bumper instead. Just a matter of personal preference. I also like that on the bumper, the valve is lower for filling without having something hang off the car.
Can't wait to try it with a full load in the rear. I have the rear cargo carrier box and noticed when fully loaded, the rear of the car sagged. Similarly, I saw some appreciable sag when towing the family deck boat (3,000 pounds plus package weight). Didn't bottom out in either case with the stock rear suspension, but I wanted to have better leveling and handling. Time will tell but so far so good. The only criticism I have is that the Amazon website says up to 50 psi max pressure. The instructions say 35 psi. That leaves me wondering the true max pressure. For now, I'll stick with the 35 psi max.
