  1. So just found out today from a mechanic friend that the sub frame supporting the left front suspension is shot. Knew this was coming. Both sides in front of the doors were rotting bad with the cancer. So if anyone wants it whole for parts I will sell it. Has AC lift and locking hubs. 3.3 Motor has 150,000. Has hitch also.

  2. Ok. I'm going to need spacers lol. The drivers side is rubbing a little too much for comfort. It's rubbing on the outside of the tread. The passenger side has no rubbing for some reason. Maybe cause it needs a balljoint still that I haven't installed. I went from 255/65/16 to 265/75/16 or 32's. No problems with it rubbing the fender or trim while turning even in reverse. I ordered 1" spacers which will give me the room away from the strut I need.

  3. Yes you can technically . Found that out today. Tires are rubbing the bottom strut perch. Tires do not fit under the strut like it should. I used the angle grinder to shave some excess metal off to right where the spring is sitting. I haven't got to test drive it yet to see how it works. Seems I have more room on passenger side than the drivers side. The back tires fit fine. I can post some pics tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't have to buy spacers.

  4. Ok. I replaced tie rod ends, ball joints and sway bar link ends. Just got back from alignment but still having same issue steering real hard to one side or the other. Shop said everything was tight. I replaced power steering fluid and noticed small air bubbles along with dark fluid. I changed that out with Lucas power steering stop leak stuff. It didn't fix the problem. There is a whining noise close to full turns in park?

    So I think it's power steering pump or hopeful not the rack. Any other ideas?

  5. 1999.5 pathfinder 190,000 miles recent timing belt change. Needs rear bushings. Body is decent. Haven't checked it out to see if the strut tower problem is there. Guy wants $1000 he said the only thing wrong is the bushings. How hard are those to change? He says it sways when hitting bumps. Goes fine down highway. Easy fix?

  6. I installed the AC lift last year with the KYB struts up front. I noticed the top out right away but didn't care cause it's lifted! So after a few months of my 16 yo son driving it, i think they are shot already. He likes to drive hard and fast in the mud. The struts have oil by the strut Pistons and it makes horrible banging. That was going on for a while but now the steering is all screwed up. It will pull hard to whatever side you are turning. You basically have to hold steering wheel with both hands. So now it is parked cause it's a danger. Any ideas what went wrong ? I'm thinking it might have to do with the struts/strut bearings?

  7. I'm having the same problem with my 2000. Battery keeps dying after sitting. My son broke the power antenna off-roading. I'm thinking maybe it's that? Where is the fuse or power wire without pulling the inner fender off?
