  1. hey guys! I just purchased my pathfinder a week or so ago and i bought it with this problem. I knew right away what it was and that it wasnt a big deal to fix.... after reading these posts I see people are having some issues with this... doing one side at a time and what not... Its a very simple job and it cost me $11 to repair. You can remove all 4 at the same time. just park on level ground. engage 4x4 and put in first, also engage park brake. All the work can be done from under the car with no jacking needed. that way everything stays nice and aligned (for the most part) and its a pretty simple job. Once you get them out. Impacts wrenches work like a dream down there. Clean the rubber and fill with Proform Urethane sealer. let dry for 48 hours and reinstall. 1 tube of the stuff did all the bushings and they are stronger and better than factory. pretty much same as getting the poly bushings from 4x4parts.com. It took about 3 hours total labour to do the job and that includes cleaning the old bushings and filling them with the urethane. Puting it back together was a snap as I did not allow the vehicle to budge for those few days. This is an easy and CHEAP fix.. very cheap. the urethane is very strong and reliable. ive even done motor mounts with them that have failed and they lasted for over 100k miles once filled. these will no doubt prove to be reliable. Hope this helps some of you out there that dont want to spend lots of money on new bushings or whole assemblies!!
