  1. Considered doing that, were you able to torque them properly? I can't get the box end of a wrench on the top one, let alone a socket. Or did you torque it on the bolt head side?

    I was able to get a wrench on there. The torque measurement would have to come from the head side unless you use a crow's foot on the nut side. Not sure how that would throw off the torque reading though. I hate to say it, but a lot of mechanics give up on the torque wrench unless you're working on engine components.

     

  2. Thanks red. So it looks like the shocks with the d21 RC parts won't fit the pathfinder. Do you know if the stock shocks will have enough travel for 2 more inches?

    Shocks should be identical as well. Frame to LCA measurements are the same for D21 and WD21. There isn't really a "Lift" shock for the front end on either one. The overall travel doesn't change. The rear is where you can really get the "flex" after you remove the sway bar.

  3. Quick follow up:

     

    Dead/No pressure: Vacuum, wait (a couple of hours), confirm vacuum, charge on the LOW side with the recommended amount of refrigerant. (A flush is recommended if replacing a component).

     

    Some pressure and unknown leak: Pressurize on the low side. Find a chart for pressure vs/temp and fill to correct pressure based on temp.

     

    Use dye only if you know you have a leak and know what to look for. Don't use sealant or most shops won't touch it. If you did use sealant, don't tell them.

  4. I've got two d44 low pinion axles here in AZ. Both are Waggy's. One is a bare housing with chromo shafts, 3.73+ carrier, lock-rite and nothing else. The other is a cleaned axle that hasn't been opened, but has discs, calipers and hubs. I also have some 6-lug Chevy take-off hubs with rotors that are practically brand new along with some flat top knuckles (not machined).
