i ordered my from jeff his email is jeffhoepker@charter.net his stuff is very good quality i paid 170 for 1.5 front spacers and 1.75 rear spacers and 2day shipping
-
im guessing not to pinch them becauser if you drained them that would take forever to bleed them to work again
-
if you end up geting the bike cheak this site out its were i got all the parts that i broke if the local bike shop didnt have them and its were i get my gear at
thats also the part look up for the 86 bw 80

when cleaning the joint what should i use and i seen autozone has boots are those junk or would i be ok going with those
do i change just the ripped boot (outside) or do i do both boots
this is the one i was thinking http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Dorman-CV-Boot-Kit/1997-Nissan-Datsun-Pathfinder-4WD/_/N-j9ffdZ6o1zt?itemIdentifier=491374_173042_3550_

i loved my bikes(rode since i was 4) so i would go with the bike but if you have 2 kids they might fight over who gets to ride when you ride with them
-
so i dont know how long the boot has been ripped as i got the pathfinder in august and didnt look at them is there anyway to clean them and will any boot do or is there a certain boot i should get
and how do i "rebuild the stock one"
-
looks like it might be the predecessor to the Yamaha PW series if it is then it has a oil injection system for the oil fuel mix as its a 2 stroke. i would look into the specs of the bike like seat height base weight and see if there are any records of the speed of the bike if its anything like the PW series it should have a screw to limit the throttle
-
so iv been looking around and obviously rockauto has the cheapest ones but im not sure about the quality of the brands there so im between whats there and the ones at 4x4parts.com since all of there stuff its good quality or better than stock what do you guys think?
-
mine does the same thing and i haven't found anything wrong with mine and all my fluids are full so i think it might be something with how Nissan has them set up
mines a 97 so it will probably be different
-
very often cv boots will rip (if not ripped already) shortly after a suspension lift. as the half shaft angles will change stretching the rubber from the boot differently from the stock position. the boots have been on there a while in the stock position and the rubber can be old and brittle. A lift stretches the old rubber in a new position and will generally tear within a few hundred miles after the lift. so keep an eye on them after the lift especially after a wheeling trip when you are running the suspension in its full range of motion.
i wont be wheeling till next spring as most of the places i wheel get shutdown/ inaccessible during the winter months and the boot is already ripped with no lift
-
have any pics of it form the side? i like the look from the front and its much cheaper than the ones meant for the pathfinder so i may look into this but need to know how it looks from the side
-
i dont have manual hubs and when im not in 4wd there no noise and the only time there is noise when im in 4wd is if i hit a bump or drop off something more than 5-6" and its a clunk like not a bang or a knock its literately a clunk so i think my ball joints or something in there needs replacing also (personally i think the hole front end suspension and steering /drive have to replaced) the previous owners only fixed stuff when it stopped them from driving but they did have a detailed like the date how many miles and everything from a shop near where they live and the changed the oil every 2- 3000 miles
-
so yesterday i started to tear apart my pathfinder to put my lift in and noticed my driver side cv boot was ripped but the passenger side is ok i plan on doing my struts next spring so im going to try and make it threw this winter with the cv boot ripped i might duct tape it since it will only be driven on the roads this winter and wont see any crazy angles or anything past maybe alil 4wd to get out of the drive way if this winter is like the past couple it wont ever be put into 4wd. so if it makes it threw this winter or if it ends up breaking should i replace both sides or just the driver side and when i do my cv shaft/struts should i change my tierods?

count your self lucky, you've got your self a very capable off road rig there. I wouldn't be complaining if I was you.
im not complaining i was just wondering if it was something normal or if it was modified/ built
with my old truck no matter were i was mud/grass/wet grass/pavement i could only get one tire to spin when i was in 2wd and that had the limited slip diff tag on the diff the pathfinder doesnt have that tag
-
Plastidipped my rims this weekend
are those stock rims?
-
Earlier today I went down to my gmas house and she has a mini ditch going down one side of her yard and I backed into it and slowly steped on it and both tires spun and I got all the way down to maybe 2-3 mph and still both spun so I even stopped them and started again very slow and both still spun so I put a board under one and it spun the one but also backed out with no problem so I thought my eu I put it on the dominate tire so I did it to the other side and same thing happened but I only got to maybe 10 mph till the tire caught the would then it slowed down to maybe 3-4 but the other tire didn't spin faster or slower ( on both tries)

So that is defiantly how my car and old truck was but when ever the tires spin on the pathfinder it's both rear instead off just one and if I go around a corner and take it to sharp the inside tire chirps it doesn't matter on speed ether if I turn to sharp they Chirp so do you think somebody welded my diff ?

By LSD you mean limited slip diff ?and when ever the tires spin it's both which I thought the point of the limited slip was to not let both spin the previous owners said he thought it might have a locked but he was unsure (I just remembered this)

The rear ones sit at the bottom of the coil so that one will be and the other sits at the of the strut so maybe half will be

so just to let you know i went with the thrush turbo im happy with it because my old one was so quiet that at idle i couldent here the exhaust standing at the back of my pathfinder now i can here it idle when im inside with the passenger rear window down and can here it when i drive with the windows up but its not over powering i could actually go with a more straight threw muffler like a flowmaster or mabey a glasspack im guessing my uncle has somthing else wrong with his exhaust last i knew he had a glass pack but mybey not now and thats why it sounds terrible
