Greetings, looks clean! Nissan supposedly fixed the strawberry milkshake of death thing by 2012, but I wouldn’t trust them at all. The story alone is enough for me to never trust a transmission cooler that’s integrated into the radiator from any vehicle manufacturer...

Absolutely. 602-349-0870 if you don’t mind.

Definitely swap those bushings haha, it’s going to be worth it by the looks of it (and really help narrow things down if it isn’t the fix). If you have the cash, buying the whole arm assemblies with pre-pressed bushings will save you a crap ton of work. I otherwise had to use a press and large impact sockets to get those suckers in and out of the arms. With a big press, it was easy. Never would have gotten it done without one, however.

Well, we're coming up on 2 years of having done this project. Glad to say everything has been holding up really well, despite not putting many miles on the truck annually. Odometer now reads 185,100, so I've only seen about 7,800 miles on them so far. At last check, pads and rotors were holding up just fine. Funny thing is that I took the truck to the nearby Nissan dealership earlier this year for the airbag recall, and their maintenance report said they were wearing low...jackasses probably had no clue what they were looking at. Still haven't looked into my ABS light, again noting that it came on several months after doing the swap. I deem them unrelated. In other news, the torch has been passed to @TowndawgR50 to also do the swap! I had been sitting on a spare set of discs for a long while now, and just shipped them up to him last week. Looking forward to seeing his take on the project and expanding this thread in the coming months.

Woah. That diff bushing is gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
