So heres the scoop. My brother has a 90 two door I have been helping him go over. When I give it some gas it swerves to the right. When you come off the gas it swerves to the left . Any ideas?

Rockauto has the full rebuild kit. Iv'e never tried this. Is all the work done from the outside of the box? Do i need special tools?

Im sure there is a way to make it bolt on. and possible so it pivots like a shackle? I might try this out

Windsor is a bit away. I could make the drive I guess. My brother has one but he's in Astoria,OR. Im driving my rig up there on friday. I manage to tighten up my steering enough so It doesnt wobble. Still leaking though. How hard is it to rebuild one of those boxes?

It would work but you would have to use two different kind of wheels on your rig due to separate lug patters. Which means two spares.

Why do all that work for that Axle, even with all the work done it wont be any stronger than a D44. If you used the money from all that work on a D44 you would have one heck of an axle. I am doing my SAS this year and am interested in seeing how you do yours. I was going to mimic the rear suspension in the front. I may steal some ideas.

Whats wrong with the Calmini one that comes with their kit???....OHHH YEAH I HAD TO DRILL THE PISS OUT OF IT. THANKS CALMINI

I cant imagine what you would have to do to get sand in the trans.

then swith to chevy knuckles for strength and parts availability

Fort Bragg/Mendocino County

Steering gear box is leaking and truck getts real wobbly sometimes. I have to drive from nor cal to astoria jan 9th. if anyone can help me out i need a replacement STAT. I can afford no down time. Thanks in advance, Jake Update: My brother has one in Astoria OR. Its a 800+mile drive. Should i do the install there or when i get back. What could go wrong(other than everything)? Has anyone had these issues?

I bought an 87 that did the same thing. It was a bad injector. Something to think about. Open air filter and watch them function

My suggestion to you is to replace the wiring for the speakers while you are in there. Much better sound quality can be achieved with the new wires they sell theses days and a 30' roll will probably cost around 15$. Have fun and good luck

I have headlights.

Timing belts are very important. When i did mine I put to much tension on it and broke the tensioner stud in turn, bending valves. Did a engine swap now I have 160K on engine and 230k on body.

http://www.drivetrain.com/parts_catalog/manual_transmission_overhaul_kits/nissan.html Website that shows nissan transmission part numbers. This can be used for swap information.

thanks for that ill remember that in the future. might be a good "get me home trick"

I guess I was able to my swap without taking the diff. out because I have a 3" BL giving me the extra space to jack the engine up then come forward.

Did the swap. Went smooth. Much more power now to. I also took the open diff axle. so now I have the option of a detroit for about 300 dollars less.

Get a new flywheel or get the one you have thoroughly inspected and resurfaced. If you come across parts you need. I have all the parts from and 87 that I completely disassembled.

Deifinitly do the timing belt. I would pout all new exhaust studs in while the engines out, as these can be a PITA later if needed. I dont have that sensor, mine is on the throttle body. I just went through a engine swap. I didnt have to remove cross members or my Diff. May I ask why you had to?
