FrankTheTank Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 So i have a 1991 nissan pathfinder SE-V6 and just recently it started to kinda rock back and forth whenever i hit the gas while going around a turn. sometimes the wobble turns violent and the only way to stop it is to lay off the gas. i thought it was the shocks so i went and replaced them but the problem persists. The problem seems to be in the rear end. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this and how i can stop it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittamaru Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Check to make sure you still have your anti-sway bars... I have the same issue as you, but I have none... at all... and my bushings are shot... and other things need looked at >_> Check bushings and sway bars first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I don't have sways and mine doesn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I unno - my mech said he thinks that's part of the issue, along with the bad bushings He could be wrong (not a nissan expert) but he's pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yep, like GG said... Check/replace the rear link bushings, and at least inspect the pan hard rod ones. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
