That would be the one!

I went to high school in AF.

It's the rear control arm bushings. I posted a thread on a cheap fix for them. Otherwise it's about $200 in parts plus the labor to press the new bushings in unless you have a press or a way to get the old ones out and the new ones in.

I used to live in Tooele and I'm TooeleBronco on another site. It just makes it easier this way.

I left the old rubber in and just filled in the holes on the side. I haven't taken it wheeling yet but I doubt it will limit the suspension any. Most bushings like that on other vehicles are solid anyway and the stuff you're putting in is rubber. I doubt Nissan was thinking about flex when they designed them but I don't know.

Right next to Tooele in Grantsville.

I have a 93 Pathfinder with 208k on the odometer. The rear end has been loose since I got it and I've talked to others that have similar years and they have told me the same thing. I've priced out bushings to redo in the control arms and they are pricey. The rear control arm bushings for the Pathfinders is a bad design! They are a couple inches wide but only have less than an inch to connect the outer and inner pieces together. They work great when new but are going to wear and cause it to be sloppy if you have a few miles on yours. I pulled one off to look at it and took it over to a friends house who is always fixing up cars. He told me that he had a similar problem with a some bushings that wouldn't take the horsepower of the engine he put in a Lexus he tricked out and told me how to fix it for cheap. What I did was I went to the hardware store and got a tube of polyurethane that goes in a caulk gun. They had a bunch of different kinds but you want the one that will be the hardest when it is set up. Before you do the next step you want to make sure the bushings are centered in the control arms and clean out any dirt from around the bushings. I then filled in the open areas on both sides of the bushing. You what to make sure to get all the air pockets out and if you work it in with a screw driver it will probably work better for you. Mine was a little messy but as long as you make sure the hole in the middle is still clear and you don't have any on the side that would prevent you from sliding it back into place you will be fine. You will need to let it set up for 24 hours and it will harden like a polyurethane bushing. Reinstall then and it will make a world of difference for appox $5! I only did the lower control arms and that fixed it for me but you could also do the uppers if they are loose.

I live just west of Salt Lake but used to live in Springville which is just north of Spanish Fork.

I'm new to this site. I have a 93 Pathfinder that is stock. I would like to do some minor mods to it but want to keep this ride mostly stock. I do love traveling around Utah and exploring some of the back roads we have here. Moab has always been a favorite of mine.
