They make kits to swap out your supercharger oil. I mean if you already have it out of the truck then by all means make sure you drain it out real good to change it. But if it's already in the truck you can use a syringe like thing to get it out. I don't know how many I've done to M90 units on 3800II GM engines. It's not a particularly fun job, but it's gotta be done. Also i'd make sure you turn it by hand a little a few times if you drain all the oil out like that. Just to get the new oil to coat the gears and all. But that's all personal preference.

Doesn't it already have KM/h on it? lol

pretty nice.

tie rods aren't that old. but no guarantee they couldn't be bad. Either way I don't know what to do. It's probably easy to do I'm just wore out from bothering with this thing. I won't dump anymore money into it because it's going to be gone as soon as I get my other car on the road.

Axle, hub assembly (used), wheel bearing, all that stuff. But it was doing it before I took the axle out. The steering is the issue. I haven't double checked anything other than the work I've done in replacing the axle. But it was doing it before I replaced the axle.

After finally getting everything back together and double checking everything. My steering is ungodly loose. Like, deathly loose. Both my tension rods are new, as well as their bushings. At 30mph or so it's fine. But at highway speeds (45-55) the steering is ridiculously loose and feels like every little movement is going to make me roll over. So what could cause this?

What this guy said

you want fast? Buy a fast car. While the VG30 is a great engine in terms of reliability. It's just not exactly what "fast" is made out of without substantial amounts of work. Reliable as anything though. and the 160hp stock isn't all too shabby once you adjust to it. Some easy things to slap on however do wonders. Exhaust and CAI are 2. i'm sure there's plenty more.

Local parts shop. They finally refused to refund my money. They are called Salvos or something along those lines. I got a receipt around here somewhere. I'll dig it up when I get time. But I didn't feel like updating the thread for something I knew would only give "well try again". They said it wasn't their problem and I should've checked before. Which I should have. but they didn't care about the fact some people work full time it seems. But I didn't feel the need to bump an old thread. I ended up getting the axle off a 1995 Nissan Pickup that was a rollover. Axle looked fine. All I'm doing is throwing an axle in it to sell it. The axle isn't in too bad of condition. It's not brand new, but it's not near bad. The rubber doesn't look dried up or cracked in the least. so I'm going to include my records when I sell the truck. I'll try and keep track of whoever buys it to keep them in the loop.

Double post. Got it installed last night. Need a castle nut for the tie-rod end. But other than that everything bolted right up. Got it out of the garage and ready for the new car to go in Thanks everyone for all your help

It took me forever to get the axle out of my Pathfinder. I ran to the junkyard to get one (see attached), and it only took me like 45 minutes to an hour. Not I just gotta reassemble, remove from garage, park in front yard, and add the For Sale sign. Also attached: Some time ago I posted a thread about problems with my aftermarket axle. Well come to find out the hub is much bigger than I had originally measured and is definitely NOT for a WD21. I may or may not add pictures at a later time of the difference. But it was all out of whack, I don't know how I didn't notice it sooner. But the parts store is still jerking me around, now saying there's nothing they can do cause I turned in my core. Then saying they'll sell me another one, for the same price. Naturally I would have just eaten my loss but I am selling the Pathfinder (as much as I don't want to) because I bought an AWD sedan. So yeah. My attached was longer than my actual post lol

Mine are paper cones. Damn. I been had.

Looks like Carbon Fiber to me. I thought the OEM speakers were paper/cardboard cones Win

Look at the material of the speaker cone.

does that speaker make you go faster?

Already did. They said "well call in tomorrow for our boss" and he seems to never be there. I've been in the store multiple times about it. It's not a huge worry considering I'm selling the truck anyway. But I'd at least like t have it in somewhat decent mechanical condition to sell.

just an update. They ducked my phone call again. They'll answer, put me on hold, and then hang up. I'm just going to buy another one and cut my losses. I'm pulling the tags this week I think and just going to get something else. I can't see the point of paying insurance when this thing is just sitting in my garage.

they've ducked my phone calls. Normally they are pleasant to deal with. But overall I'm getting agitated about it. I might just bite my loss and try to grind them out the tiny bit they need.

Called them today. They put me on hold, then hung up. They've been pretty weird lately. They didn't even tell me about the core charge. And their prices have been changing randomly. I'll order the part at one price, when it gets there they charge me more. I dunno though. I might just have to eat my money as said before.

It's not a chain store. It's a local store. Everything looked like it matched right up when they were side by side.

I'll look at it again. It lined up perfectly. I hate to have to go back into this place because they kinda suck. But I'll have to see what I can do.

I turned it in because the $100 core charge had been very tempting. Money is nice. But I don't wanna go through all of it. I'll just see if I can use the dremel to bring it out a tiny bit. I don't need alot. But just a tiny bit. It's a pain. As for the axle thing. The WD21's ONLY CV Axles are on the front. In back is a solid rear axle.

An auto parts store. I turned in my core cause it looked like everything would bolt right up and the holes seemed to line up when I checked them against each other.

The only holes on the CV Axle? The ones that bolt onto the front differential. I'm just so stressed about this because I just want to get it done so I have something to drive. I've been driving my mom's car

So the problems never end on this POS truck. When I removed my old axle and lined it up with the new one the holes looked similar. Lined up and I figured they'd be fine. Well they aren't. And I'm so ready to drag it across the scale and crush it. But I'm trying to see if I can get it fixed and enjoy driving it. Because when it's not broken, it's genuinely enjoyable to drive. So needless to say will it hurt to drill the holes out a little bit more to get it to actually bolt up? btw it's a CV Axle on the left front.
