They were thinking weight reduction for mileage gains, plus rust resistance. Not that many customers use the system you want to use.

Not that many customers want a solid axle either, so I feel your pain.

On the other hand, own that Nissan for a few years and a few hundred thousand miles and get back to us on reliability and issues. They've had a few lately.
