  1. I have a 95, not a 90 - but have been plagued by window issues. I replaced the front driver and passenger regulators and motors within the last 4 years. Now the passenger is creepin gup slowly and the driver's side will occassionally slip and I have to push it up. What are the signs of bad regulators vs bad motors?
  2. Does anybody know of a retailer that sells black running boards for a 95 SE Pathy? I can only find silly looking aftermarket ones that would make it look all pimped out. Mine are rusting and I think they are past the point of scraping them down and repainting. And Jeez. When did my spare carrier get so hard to close? I read one post about grinding, and air pressing, and the guy used about 10 tools to get the pins out. Can a normal human change those out?
  3. Problem solved! Sometimes all you need is a little magic, and you also need to go about 85 on the highway for 5 hours. Someone had another post (maybe in the garage section) that mentioned getting something like a rock stuck in the brake shield...and that it started squealing after things heated up. They resolved the problem by tearing backwards in reverse. Mine did the same thing...it wouldn't start until I had driven about 25 minutes. Well, I got on the highway for my first long drive in 2 months (squeal started a month ago) - I was on my way to N.C. to actually get a family mechanic to check out the squeal. After an hour at 80 mph, I stopped for gas and no squeal...and it hasn't done it since. It has been 4 days, driving in the same "around town" conditions as before, and no noise. I wish I hadn't replaced the 'like new' front and rear pads.
  4. No. Didn't fix the problem. I cleaned up the slide pins, got all the old grease off the pins and out of the slot, and gave them nice fresh grease. I actually think it squeals worse now. I am pretty sure I followed all the instructions from the garage post to the letter, but I think my next option is to replace the rotors.
  5. Slide pins? Uhhh... Where are the slide pins? I admit I am not very saavy, but I also admit the only guide I have is a Hayes '86-'95 Nissan/Datsun truck/Pathfinder guide, which shows very little helpful info.
  6. I have a '95 SE with 145K miles, and until about 2 months ago I kept thinking I was glad I had hung onto my truck for so long. Then I replaced the transmission for the second time (once in '00, now in '05). Then my driver's side window bonked. Then I took it for inspection and had to replace the front left ball joint. Now my brakes are squealing like a stuck pig. I replaced the pads. Then I replaced the pads again, with better ones that had a shim designed into the pad. There is no obvious difference in wear on the pads, and the rotors looked okay but I figured I would change them anyway. Any help on how to get the hex bolts out of the hub? I practically broke my hex wrench, and I am afraid I am going to strip the bolts. That would definitely ruin my day. The car starts squealing after about 20 minutes of driving...after the brakes are nice and warm. They continue to make a grinding noise...until you apply some brake pressure. Also, no noise at idle...only when the car is moving. My options are 1) Turn up my stereo loud (poor plan), or drive with my left foot lightly mashing the brake pedal (also poor).
