In re connecting the harness, I realized that One ( or more ) dog chewed it... So I patiently did some electrical, style forensic scenario. There are some years one should stay in bed. Philippe.

Looked at them all. Very informative. Thank you. Philippe.

Got the same problem for my Terrano, it is not a straight bolt on, I'll have to modify when I have time. But it will look nice on the man's car. Philippe.

Fed the mosquitoes all week end. Steering in, front suspension in, exhaust in, front diff connected. Thanks Rob for all these little parts which make my Terry look like a two years old car. Bosal definitely should have a quality control !! It was an interesting week end. Philippe.

Sunday I re installed my front diff. Wow the guy is heavy. After a very dry season, we have heavy rain and mosquitos by the billion. Imagine being on your back fighting with the diff and these little vampires eating you alive. Life in the tropics. . Philippe.

I am very interested in factory settings and the front train, but I can't help with the lift. No experience here. I am sure you will find literature here to get to the end of your project. Winter time is a good time for reading. Good luck in your project. Philippe.

I also changed pistons, seals and dust protectors. The previous dust protectors were not (i guess) seated properly and this is what happened. The only one to blame is me, I changed them three years ago. Hope this time will be a better job. Philippe.

This week end: re installed the wheels, drop the car from blocks prepared the engine for installation, pushed the car in position, hooked up the engine and sunday afternoon caught me. Get to talk to Rob as I need more seals. Next time I work on it the engine should be inside. Philippe.

Is it still cold or have you found the solution? It would be interesting to see the front. This looks like you have it now on stands and wheels hanging. Is it the case? Then this situation seems to be normal. 5523Pathfinder gave you a link, you should remove the adjustment bolt (the one you show on the vid), jack up your lower link, remove the "anchor arm" (nissan terminology) and re install according to the given procedure. If somebody has interfered with your front suspension before, you could check the position for the torsion bars, one for left, one for right. They must not be mixed. For identification one end of the bar has a R the other has a L, the mark has to be installed at the rear. No need to say more. There is no reason that you could not get it right. Even if this come too late, it would be interesting that you tell us the outcome. Philippe.

These bolts and nuts are not of an easy access but if you have to cut, you can get nissan parts right here http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/18653-genuine-nissan-parts/page-30 When re installing, use anti seize it works perfectly. Let us know. Philippe.

Last week I was re installing mine after so many months so I did not remember first the procedure. Everything was clean like new but the front splines did want to enter the front socket (arm) more than a third of the depth. I battled for a while until I decided of being intelligent and read the shop manual. They tell you to jack up (well before you secure the car and release the tensioner) the the lower arm until the rubber stops the move. At this point the socket lines up with the bar and a kid would push it in, This mean a lot of tensions inside, not only the torsion you can release with the adjuster but also flexion of the bar. Doing this could put everything in a position where the BFH mentionned above will produce the final and expected effect like magic. Good luck. Philippe

It seems that Cory got popular in a short time... maybe he hit the target . Ph.

??? found the solution ??? Ph.

I don't plan to do it but one side has abnormal play and I expect this mirror to fall one day. Better to know what I'll have to deal with now. I think it was mounted originally with convex glass and this what I'll replace with. No flat at all. Thanks for the help. Philippe.

I checked it too, don't think I'am so familiar to skip the ckecks . Gates has taken care of that too, there is a booklet in the kit and they give you the number of teeth. Very nice kit. Belt and tentionner. Philippe.

Did it stop to work overnight or have you done something? No fuel at engine, you could run the following tests if not done already. Do you hear the pump for seconds when turning ignition on without cranking? If not, check pump's fuse, wires, corrosion of the wiring to the pump and ground. Access to the pump in the cargo floor. Check fuel line for obstruction. Ensure you don't mix up fuel line and return line??? Take precaution with the gas when disconnecting the lines and ensure it is not going to be sprayed all over. Ph.

Among some other things I took pics of the timing with a gates belt. On the one I had before the marks were not matching very well and aligning it was not that easy. If you do not order from Nissan, this a good buy. And this is how it lines up: And the damper at TDC plus the distributor: And also having the shop manual next is the best guarantee for success. Philippe.

Leo, Any pics or a line or two on how you did it so that we can do the same?? Thanks. Philippe.

I found the black depressing under and in the engine bay. So I put some color. But look at the sway bar link cup, you immediately see it has a life behind. In black it would be difficult to notice. Back in 2009 I had to do some work on the engine and changed the color then. From this, It became like this. At the time the shop had some RED . Philippe.

To make a very long story short: you all (WD21 owners) know our tension rod bracket. Mine was like that. 25 years! I cut it from the frame And got a new one welded. I did not take a pic when finished but it looks better than before. I am sure the guys at Nissan designed this lower frame on a Friday afternoon. Philippe.

May be you should check. And thanks the topic starter Philippe.
