Yessir, That's the thing I'm needing to replace. I've been having a clunk in the front end when going over bumps and, after rolling around under the vehicle and wiggling things, I noticed that the bushings are worn on the transverse links. I'm having strong reservations about tearing into this myself 'cause this car's also needing O2 sensors (front ones) and a starter that intermittently won't react to the ignition key being turned as if the selenoid is going out. Fortunately, it only does it at the worst moments, like about 30 minutes ago in town in the pouring rain. I think I'll just throw all the parts in the back, tow it to a mechanic shop with a blank check and see if he can make a dependable vehicle out of it.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just frustrated due to this thing breaking down twice in the past hour on a quick trip into town.
Keep in mind the rubber would have to be awfully rotten to start hearing a clunk from these things. Have you checked the sway bar end links? They are a common wear item that will certainly cause a clunk.

Well, not a lot it seems. Guess that's a good thing.

I have an 00 Pathfinder with 120K miles all original parts except for suspension parts that I replaced because some parts were getting on, but not because it was worn out. I've been thinking about what I might need to replace over the next few years like exhaust, or alternator etc...
I was wondering what parts you guys have had to replace on your R50 due to wearing out or malfunctioning and at what mileage did you have to replace it? Also, just curious how long the exhaust system tends to last on these things? Thanks

Man these are awesome SUVs.

I haven't driven it yet besides re-parking it, but I actually noticed the best example of the results after parking it and was heading inside, I glanced back at it (as I always find myself doing as I walk away from it, I really like this truck) and noticed it leaning downhill.
Just as kdj explained above, this will allow the body to lean more and not be forced to stay parallel with the axle which will be beneficial off road.
This is my nightly parking spot
High side...notice the amount of wheel well above the rear tire...
and the low side...
I'll report after I drive it, though off road will have to wait until next weekend
How was the driveability on the road without the sway bar? How was the cornering? Did you notice the rear end bouncing around at all?
-
I would say 2500-5000$ tops with that many kms and some rust. Maybe less, kind of hard without seeing it in person.
-
Changed my passenger side fender. Finally.
Nice. I was thinking about attempting this. How was it? Did it just bolt on?
-
Am I the only one this happens to? I was under the impression this was common with larger tires.
-
I'll have a look at the lines again. Is throttle body cleaner okay?
O2 sensors are original, save for one that was replaced years ago after throwing a code. Other than that, never had any other codes. Emissions was tested last year and passed no problem.
-
I have tried the EC section.
Maybe I should just live with it as it is 15 years old and not severe.
I've looked at vacuum lines and everything "looks" fine.
Thanks for the responses.

We've been sitting at -30 to -40°C lately but she's started each morning for work!
Are these photos right close to the airport? Looks awfully familiar.

Timing is good. Done the fuel treatments. 190k kms or about 120k miles. Cap and rotor are easy to check, but what should I be looking for?
-
Noticing my Pathfinder doesn't seem to have quite the responsiveness that it used to between 2000-3000 rpm. Off the line and above 3000rpm it seems fine. Any ideas of what could help. Spark plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter are fine. Throttle body and maf are clean. TPS adjusted. What am I missing?
Cap and rotor have about 15000kms on it. Should that be changed? Thanks

conventional Castrol always on my Nissans. Runs smoothest and quietest on my VG33, VQ35, my old VG30, and old 2400 Inline 6.

Why do my front tires rub while in reverse only? Where is there play in the front suspension that causes the rub while driving in reverse but not in drive? Thanks.
-
Delta R50 I really like that bush guard, who makes that? I might just have to get one of those.
That is what I call a garage. Nice.

Thanks for posting this video! Helped a bunch with my front pad replacement-good braking now.

There is a recall for strut housing corrosion. You should have your Pathfinder taken into the Nissan dealer to have it looked and have the recall completed at ASAP.

Steering rack mounts?

Tried the chalk test, still seems like 26 psi cold is the way to go for the summer anyway. Will probably bump it up to 28 psi in the winter.

Don't care about ride or economy, just want even wear.

So just got some new General Grabber A/t2s 255/70/R16 and was wondering what air pressure I should fill them to? I had been filling my old Michelins (255/65/R16) to 26psi as per the placard inside the Pathfinder. They seemed to wear pretty evenly at that pressure. What do you guys run yours at? They are slightly larger tire, would that affect the recommended air pressure?
-
It's the bottom hinge in the photo. You can see the corrosion. Spray with some thick grease. I use Rust Check Spray.

Hey CDN_S4, nice pics. Just wondering what type and size of tires you have on there? Looks good. Stock height? Thanks
LOL lost lake is in the training area, you don't wanna go there, I've seen tanks get hopelessly stuck and submersed in there...
Here is another one from the gravel pit
Strut question?

Had KYBs for the last couple of years. Zero issues. Will buy them again if needed.
Had Monroe's before, they were junk.
