Solland

bolts on the strut attaching to control arm, not the TB, tried to change bars over the weekend but couldnt get step 1: remove bolts done

mine were so worn they snapped, i cant get the rusted bolts out though, does anyone have some tricks for this? i dont have air impact or a torch

bolts are so rusted i dont think i can get them off without a torch or cutting them off

While im at it, My car is not idling properly and will stall sometimes even when im moving but my foot isnt on the gas, other times it will idle just fine. My only thought was the idle control valve is gunked up but I definitely dont have the money or knowhow to change that out.

my quotes are a bit higher than yours

i want to change them out this weekend, i got quoted from a nissan dealership (with parts in stock): 128 for bars 68 for bushings 26 for washers 12 for collars 10 for nuts I would rather the moog bushings because they seem better and would save me almost 50 bucks, but I also really want to fix this all this weekend and the bushings would have to be shipped and get here next week. Your thoughts? Also preferable would not be paying 6.5 dollars each for washers... PS. Yes Hardbody thanks for the FSM link I've already downloaded it. And thank you to Precise that is a great description of the process and gives me great confidence.

Yea I already read that but it doesn't give much detail about the process, i'm very green to working on cars I've only worked on bikes.

Yea it leaks and burns oil, not sure which is worse. Gaskets are probably deteriorating was my guess. To put the new rods on do i put 1 bushing and washer on the rod, put the rod in the hole, put the other washer and bushing on and then nut/bolt?

Right I guess they should be a bit longer, pretty weird thye just snapped, could there be an underlying prblem? The tension rods I need are part no 54470-31G00?

Thanks very much for the quick response.. Okay so the rod is supposed to pass through the hole with a rubber piece on each side of the hole? Wouldn't i just need the new bushings then?

Hello all, my name is Jon and I am a newfriend. I just moved across Canada to Alberta and I got a 1994 Pathfinder from my uncle. She's been kind to me thus far but the other day something terrible happened. When I hit about 80 km/h the car front end starts shaking violently, and I can feel it in the steering wheel. In 4WD I can make it up to around 100 km/h. Hitting any bump above 70 km/h will generally proc the shaking. I looked under the car and found these babies out of whack. I assume they are stabilizers and they are causing the problem, and I'm wondering what I can do. I am hoping I can unbolt, put it back in place, then rebolt. I am not sure if there should be a bolt in the end.
