Tension Arm or strut rod or compression arm is the rear pivot point on your front lower control arm and the bushings go on either side of a welded bracket that hangs down of the chassis. here is the thread all about replacing it :http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/32546-how-to-replace-strut-rod-bushings/

i live in Austin soooo, im kinda in the middle of the state and middle of the u.s of a. i want to meet up with other gentlemen (and ladies ) and make trouble, BUT i dont know where i belong

i remember that being in a optional package , with 2 15" subs ,4 " body lift and a pair of truck nuts.

well, something is not right then.

question answered, i play with it while driving i pretend it's a boost switch . i guess it's in the ... on? position since i'm starting it from the passengers seat while it's garage kept.

it a rocker switch that says "INTERLOCK" next to my cruise cont and below mirror adjuster on my dash, on the driver side. i play with it all the time , no clue what it does.

*may steal idea*

thanks, i thought i was going to be much worst off when started in to project,for a 2 decades old. i made "most likley gonna have to replace" list , 3/4 of it was fine. i cant wait to get back to driving it and start on the fun stuff ( custom light bar , prerunner bumper/brush guard, rock sllders, and a few dumb add-ons). this forum has fuel a fire. i might replace both cups with races, looks a lot more durable.

Hello everyone 6 years of ownership ,many miles and countless adventures, I figure ,with a garage and a daily driver,its time to invest time and money into my pathy. So, I can start checking items off the should do/ always wanted to do/ never knew I want to do , list. First item is to get her back on the road and legal. It had a check engine light and a miss. with no garage at the time, I drove her to my parents house for a shop full of every tool I could ever possible need and my father's car Yoda abilities. I did the screwdriver to the ear trick on the injector and # 5 didn’t sound right.i pull the top part of the intake to replace the said injector , while off I cleaned the whole induction system out with carb cleaner and elbow grease. In the process of putting everything back , I leaned too hard on the aged radiator and snap top intake spout. ( yay time for a new radiator). After installing and retrofitting around a bent a/c condenser (result of a run in with an owl at highway speed). I put it all back together. … still a miss . I played with the spark plug wire to uncover the corrupter, this time #2 cylinder seems to be the problem. Deflated and in the middle of a move , She sat . A few weeks later I drove it back to the new place and in to the “den of doom”(girlfriend words. not mine), where I started address some of the other less important issues, t-bar sag , strut rod bushings , rebuild hubs etc (which some im still addressing , cuz im super ADD barely have only one project going) . One day my father ,who is a professor at a community collage, called and said, his class did a tear of a vg30e and had some parts I might want. I came home with two smelly bags of parts , including a complete fuel rail, engine harness , and intake manifold. I was able to work out a way to pull the first half of my fuel rail and make a injector tester with a injector socket and a 9volt. #2 injector was bad even thou when I listened to it before it sounded fine. I cleaned and replaced the three injector with the strongest of the 5 I had . Replaced those dumb Philips bolt with hex bolts and where she sits today now i have a question for you guys. i discovered my driver side bushing cup is blown out I know one of you welded a bearing race to the frame, was that a hard weld , or would I be better off lobing one off a junked path or pickup? and now some pics of my work (because everyone loves pics.) happy to find that little sticker found this under both of my rear seats

i am replacing what i have always called my tension arm bushing. i found this on 4x4parts https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/tension-arm-bushing-kit-p-4129.html but 10 dollar shipping scared me off. in my reseach, i found this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CNB39M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER same thing? i want to make 100% sure

i found all the components under the hood, replaced bad relay. time to go dig around a few junkyards . thanks for all the help.

FOUND IT ! but both are on the passenger side. sounds right? no, the sweet levers and the button. so, no air senor. good, less things short out.

weird, both are tied up , and i have ac . now time to find plugs that go to the switch.

sorry, I am having the worst time getting these pics to link.

I have always wondered why i have this switch and it lights up when my headlights are on, but I have no aux lights Then today I ran across this , while repairng a broken headlight back. I have tested them , for lack of meter. Could they be related ? the wires going in are: white with black stripe and yellow to one. red and yellow to the other.

that what i mean. i think im going to put on a truly cherry bomb

i guess i need to find out what is legal in my area , race muffler sounds fun

i guess, its one problem, glass burn out. the last one was not a fully serious question. i would be happy see any noticeable gain but it’s not expected. I would love to delete the cat , but cant . so, should I put on what I know and worry replacing it if/when it blows out ? what exhaust you guy recommend glass pack or non?

hello, long time creeper, first time poster. Ok I want a glass pack muffler sound/style/price without the glass pack problems. i ran across these https://www.lawsonin...ynerator Bullit I have found 2" versions, so, going to keep it 2” and keeping the “over the rear axle” piece, just retiring the old equipment, but I never heard one on a v6 only v8 fords and such . Are they any good? Is it going to sound good? Am I really going see mpg, hp and tq improvements? thank you
