when you say 'falls off' how badly is it doing it pathfinders only have small engines and i know my path hates hills in any way shape of form

usually hiatchi alternators have the reg inside bosch alternators have em outside my path has a hiatchi

yes you can tighn them, just be careful of the little rubber boot or even better take them off and go flex some where sly

if its only happening under load i would say detonation check ignition timing, knock it back 5 degrees = no problems

from your description sounds like the front diff is stuffed pull the inspection plug and see if the fluid is clean or bad, a broken seal will let contamients in if the shaft is loose maybe some internal bearings in the diff have broken down disconect the drive shaft from the diff, raise the front wheels and turn the shaft, that sticks out the end of the diff, over go from there

remove the switch, get 2 small slot screw drivers and very gentely pri it apart

hi & welcome not sure exactly but i have heard of them being between the dash and the firewall btw if the local Nissan shop doesnt know where it is i would be going to another shop

safari snorkels look at my rig

three words again after market manual btw the only way you will have leaky seals is if they are damaged or decayed from age

three words..... AFTER MARKET MANUAL

simple just run a new plug, cable & switch

calmini steering solution yum yum

your pathy HAD electronically adjustable shocks - ride stiffness bit of a gimic though, i dont think they do anything really

i always thought the 96+ came with a socket extension for removing that plug from Nissan maybe mikey or blizz can confirm

you have got lots of time on your hands, havent you great mod though, if you can get all the piping to fit what brand and what size??? :cool2:

i give up

what ta....... an sr20 form with the heading 'ba16 tunners - stomping on Nissan since 1988' am i missing something here???? my understanding is quite clearly an sr20 is a nissy motor please explain, or am i completely missing the point btw Pete where are you????

third is of the idler arm - not sure how to check this one, but use your imagination or ask 88 - he seems to know everything else

second is of the centre link, check for slop in the same way

first picture is of a 'ball joint' basically to see if there is any slop grab the two bits of metal that the ball joint joins and try to move them apart. they shouldnt move apart any if theres no slop.

oh i see i agree BOYCOTT les schwab

if they buggered it up take it back and kick up a fuss with the manager this happened to me when i first got my muds - they stripped a stud, tried to hide it, i saw it on a visuall inspection before i left the the shop, made then fix it free of charge btw mine was a stud on the rear axle

i would leave taking it to a shop as the last resort, the moneys better in your pocket than theirs...... if you can wait till tomorrow i will take some pictures tonite from my path pics will help explain

firstly i dont suspect bushings - worn bushings usually give a 'shake' however do a visual on them to eliminate them check your ball joints, there are three or four each side - they do simply wear out. also check your centre link, they wear out also. also check your wheel bearings, it might be time for renewal.

should be bolt out bolt in btw i have an 88 2 dr path but i also have the back door with an opening window
