thank every one, didnt think about the wrap around. I was just thinking about mounting points. Any one ever shipped a bumper? wonder if it would be worth getting one sent all the way up to canada?

Just wondering if a aftermarket bumper from a WD21 will fit on a R50 pathfinder? I found a pretty good deal on one if it will. My bumper is pretty rotted so hopefully it will. Thanks in advance for any help!

i wonder if my knuckle is worn too? it still clunked a little after but it wasnt bad. it has been getting worse though. may have to try the C-clamp and retorque. So does the ball inside the joint actually spin as you were tightening it? How did you get a c-clamp on it good with the balljoint shaft getting in the way?

Got it all done. realized pretty quick i had no upper balljoints i just undid the snapring and the tierod ends (replaced them too) hardest part was lining up the 3 control arm bolts after, well that and trying to remove the tierods and balljoints with out a seperator i got the fork type. I had to walk to the parts store though.

may as well be! lots of fiberglass. specs say 750lbs but i am assuming curb wheight would be with comparable models so with my XJ not having any options like AC, powerwindows locks, no spare tire compared to the pathy's full size and aluminum rims VS steel i figure it must make up for the extra 250? I was over estimating HP too specs say 22 and i had done a few minor things i figured may have brought it up to 30.. Bored throttle body with spacer, removed restricting venturi and K&N with modified air box

Thanks for the help. read the haynes again and doesnt actually say to drop the whole thing just says to remove the CV. im gonna do like you guys said and just pull it out enough to free the balljoint. i didnt know i had upper balljoints though, maybe i should be replacing them too??

I am planning on changing my balljoints this weekend, does anybody have any advice? even things that may seem obvious to most! In the haynes manual is says to drop the axle. is it easier to just remove the CV's?... if somebody could pretty much walk me through it, it would be much appreciated. I usually would have a mechanic do this kind of thing but money is tight so its time to get my hands dirty

Hi everyone! i recently sold my 92 cherokee and got a 98 pathfinder for a wicked price ($2400) i origionally planned on selling it and making a bit of $$ but this thing is growing on me Going from a vehicle 1000lbs lighter with 30HP more took some getting used to but it makes me drive nicer anyway. I have my first dumb question...On the rearview mirror there is a bumpout on top that looks like a display screen and there is a button on top. Is this a compass/temp display or is it auto dimming? whatever it is i dont think it is working
