  1. Yeah that reminds me that I need to keep an eye out for a good full sized factory wheel with a good tire for the car. It's. Gen2 which which got narrow temps  for a spare, unlike the Gen1's which came with a matching full sized wheel & tire.  The good thing is that they left the well the same size throughout both generations.

  2. Welcome back to NPORA @Mr_Reverse! Feel free to stick around, we can always use someone with your experience here offering advice to others in the NPORA and Pathfinder community as a whole! :beer:

     

    Along the lines of the shock dumping it's oil, a while back after a (light) wheeling trip I noticed s change in handing. It didn't take long once I started looking to find that I had a lower shock mount (on the axle) literally break away, the mount, not the shock. I have it and have it, temp'ed up, and has been this way for a while just to keep it from dangling down below the axle. One of these days I'm either going to have to take it to a shop or get myself a proper welder and fix it myself. But in the meantime I've learned to compensate in how I drive to account for the handling change.

  3. Assuming the year in your profile is correct and it's still the factory engine, then the interval for a '94 is 100,000 miles... Technically 105,000 miles (per the '94 FSM), for the timing belt.

     

    As long as you're somewhat mechanically inclined, it's a pretty easy job especially with @5523Pathfinder's How To in The Garage :aok:

    To get to the wobble: I would think that would be a rear suspension bushing problem or possibly a broken frame...

    Pretty common for the rear suspension arm bushings to go bad and allow the rear axle to wiggle around, especially when you're getting on/off the gas. Commonly called the death wobble.

     

    As mentioned by @SpecialWarr & @Slartibartfast, this is a common problem on aging Pathfinders, as mentioned at the bottom of the first post of this thread...
