  1. for the roters i recommend the Raybestos Rotors. I just replced them and works or feels better in braking. Also I just repacked my bearing and like the other people said, don't waste ur money when you don't need them. Inspect and if its good then just repack. However, I will recommend to change the bearing inner seal. Seen lots of case that the water got in through the seal cause they were old or worned down. It takes lots of force and use to break the bearings. High quality grease like Vavoline (I use this) will do.
  2. Do you know how many bottles I should buy for both front and rear?? 3bottles?
  3. So, if I get this 75W-90 Mobile 1 then I can put it in for the front and rear diff?
  4. I did get the camber bolts and got them aligned. So if I get the strut spacers then I have to get them re aligned. damm.
  5. Hi guys, its the time of the year that I need to change my rear diff and front diff's oil (according to service manual). I was just wondering what you guys use for the both front and rear diff oils, how much it needs (in qts or L), and what oil grades I need to buy (Manual saids API GL-5 and SAE 80W-90 and do I need LSD additive?). FYI, rear diff is LSD and I am assuming front diff is LSD as well. My pathy is 2004
  6. I didn't know you can put additional 1" lift after the 2" lift. COOL!! If not to trouble can you post the angle of the CV half shaft? Just curious how its sitting after the 1" lift install with 2" lift already done. Much appreciated
  7. Hi guys, So I got the AC 2" lift done in my 2004 pathy and just curious if people have done the 1" NX strut spacer on top of the 2" lift. I was just wondering if its worth it. If you have done it then allignement needed?
  8. That makes more sense... My car did came down suddenly. And cracked CV would makes sense too... before the break in half
  9. Here is that picture I failed to post
  10. so... if the CV is not meant to run on that angle, am I be able to lower the differential so goes back to original angle? or is that like SFD?
  11. Which CV manufacture did you buy from Rock auto?
  12. Wow.... $650??? damm... yours is 1998 pathfinder and if its costs that much then my car will most likely cost more!! No way I am spending that much money. Well my CV's middle rod from inner shaft and outer shaft legit snapped in half so I have to replace it. Since I have failed to upload the picture; clearly I don't know how to upload the picture on this site...
  13. To be honest, I could go to the nissan and pay for what they sell it for but, they are always over priced. I don't think I really want to buy overpriced item where I can get the same item for less money. For example, the strut boots for the front to replace is around $18 ea. in 4x4 parts and if I go to nissan dealer for their price is $45 ea. Yes, OEM are good if my car was less than 5~7 yeras old but now its getting to almost 10 years since the car was assembled I don't think its worth for me to spend that much of overpriced item. Speaking of Rockford boots how much those go for in the market?
  14. The truck is lifted and the manual warn hub is already installed. I decided not to go with nissan's OEM parts because I think their parts are not strong enough for off roading. I want to get stronger metal CV where it will not break on me. I only had this car since this Feb, 2013 and the CV shafts break on me kinda tells me that the nissan is not using the right strength metal. A mean, the trail I went today was just super easy up and down and some bumps.
  15. Actually, Lordco was more expensive then 4x4. They were quoting me like $52 per bolt. It was better for me to order from 4X4 and pick them up from the US. I ordered 2 kits so toltal of 4 bolts. It will arrive this Saturday
  16. Hi guys, I went off roading today and my right CV Shaft just snapped in half!! So, now I have to get new CV Shaft and I need recommendations. I was looking at Rock auto.com like Cardone Select, EMPI and Surtrack. Out of these three which would you recommend? Any other good brands out there other than listed above? I want the new CV Shafts to last long as I really want to keep this vehicle for long time. I will be getting two CV Shafts; might as well change the other one. Money is not the issue so feel free to leave me suggestions!! Thanks for your help guys!!
  17. Just ordered Camber bolts from 4x4 parts so when it arrives I am gonna get installed and aligned
  18. So I just ordered the camber bolt kit from 4x4 parts and installing them with the alignment when I get them. See whrere that take me lol
  19. already.. guess returning the E3 and getting the NGK plugs
  20. Well I haven't installed them yet.... is it that bad???? I read pretty good reviews about it...
  21. Sweet thanks!! That would be helpful!!
  22. Hi guys, I am still tunning my 2004 pathfinder so that it will last me a long time. Here is what I have done so far - 2 inch AC lift with KYB GR-2 Strut - Pro Comp ES3000 at rear - 8000k HID head light - Changed fuel filter to Fram Fuel Filter - Engine oil and filter (Of course!) - Warn Locking Hub - Pro Comp series 7069 wheels Now to the things that I will be doing it to the car!! - Bought E3 spark plugs (thought give it a try) Any suggestion on this product? Have you guys used them before? - Off-roading lights; probably a PIAA or IPF. Still having trouble thinking where to mount them. Any suggestion will be great! - Spark plug wires? (Worth it?) -Rear drum break case (its cheaped in the corners!!) Don't think I will be doing SFD anytime soon. My car has 156900 km or 97493 miles. Also I am getting about 350 km to 360 km on full tank of gas. Is this normal? Any suggestion will be help full Thanks guys!!
  23. If you were trying to compress the spring and not being able to clear the top to mount the strut mount? Yes, I did had that problem. It was simply not long enough spring compressor. My spring compressor was for like sedans' spring not for a big rigs. I eventually took it to the shop to get them professionally done. Also, since your in the USA the shop might be cheeper in labour too!!
  24. I am in North Vancouver, Do you know any good alignment shop in Vancouver?? I ma thinking about buying the new camber sets and take it to the shop. Since I am mobile, I can go anywhere to align my wheel
