I would have done the work but I was already sick of it cuz I had just changed the front axle which decided to be a hastle and the shop owner who I know wanted me to sign a waiver if I wanted to drive it home cuz it was so unsafe and third I needed it finished quick because I had no vehicle to drive and had to barrow one of my parents vehicles leaving them out of a vehicle also all the parts were from a junkyard besides the tie rod end got a new one of those.

Hey sorry I just remembered I should post what fixed the problem I finally got sick of it and took it to a shop and they ended up replacing the tie rod end, both control arms and the spindle. They said the tie rod joint had just worn on the spindle and it was just wobbling in there and could have snapped the joint at any point and have both wheels go in different directions and also the control arms were just toast. Anyways it's fixed a thousand dollars later even using used parts and having a good discount on the labour.

Thanks for the replies guys! I will check that out tomorrow and i will post if i find anything or when it has been fixed.

Hi My pathfinder has started to wobble like if you were steering from one side to the other quickly at almost all speeds but gets worse at higher. I've been trying to search around for what it could be and have found the death wobble so far but i haven't read anything about in that that the steering wheel also is moving back and forth rapidly. To keep it from wobbling it i have to have a very tight grip on the steering wheel and hold it as still as possible. It happened right after i went out 4x4ing and hit the pavement where i noticed it. i also read it could be a bent rim. Does anybody have any insight on anything else or where i should start? Oh and its a 1993 pathfinder xe 4x4. thanks

Thanks for the replies it was just the simple fact i wasn't moving it fast enough from 4hi to 4lo and was pausing a second to much so thats why it was grinding just like you guys said just couldn't get through my head cause i thought i was doing it the same as how i was before. oh how dumb i feel now haha. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply. So I went back out this morning to give a try what you guys said. And it still did the same thing. I started it up and put the transmission in neutral then put it in neutral on the floor shift and made sure I had my foot firmly on the brake and it still will grind trying to change it into 4h or 4L. Could it have anything to do with the new front axle assembly? Or even the timing belt (which I doubt but could be wrong) as I did that last weekend?

Hi I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as what I'm having and may have a solution for me. I just changed the front axle assembly on my passenger side and after doing so it won't engage into 4wd it slips in the shifter from 2h to 4h easily but once i slip it into Neutral in-between 4h and 4L it will not come out of that it will only grind and not slip in to position. what could have changed? thanks
