Thanks Pathy - Im confused - as this part http://www.ebay.com/itm/231930177476 has a ball joint in it, but so does the center link here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201071795151 As listed above, I do need the control arm as well. Do I want both or?

Ok so priced out all the parts at around 200 bucks - now the question is time. May have to buy that Dewalt impact wrench Ive been thinking about.

Ok guys so went to get her aligned and the shop said it could not be aligned and came back with this: What am I looking at for parts cost and time for this work? The shop wanted $1100 for labor which is not happening. What do you all think, something that could be done in a weekend?

no issues with Reverse so far - it does feel low on fluid though. Lot less room under there than on my '82 toyota ha

Sorry, yes its the front - guess I need to find myself an FSM for her first off. Good advice on the strut rod bushings - just watched a cool youtube video on replacing them: Can you tell by inspecting them if they need to be replaced? I looked at mine - they arent cracked or anything - certainly not new, but is there anything specific to look for? Im gonna try to get an alignment this afternoon and top off all gearbox fluids.

Thanks guys - best way to describe the 4wd behavior is when it hits a slippery spot it pull suddenly in the direction of that front tire - so if the left front tire hits an ice patch, it will pull sharply and suddenly left - really weird. Also forgot to mention - defrost does not work whatsoever. Heat works fine as do the forward vents. Any ideas here?

Hi guys new to the forum here. Just picked up a 1987 V6 MT pathfinder. Couple questions: No 4WD light - doesnt come on Pulling in 4WD - Scared me pretty good coming home tonight, in 4WD the front end is all squirrely. Most notably, if I go over ice and snow the car will slip on the slippery surface, pulling suddenly in one direction, even off throttle. Sporadic grinding going into gear - really only 1st and 4th, and its not all the time. Clutch master was just replaced - maybe not making enough pressure to full engage the clutch? Stoked to be on here and hope to learn a lot!
