When I first got mine it would randomly get a wobble when going over certain bumps on the freeway, like bridge overpasses. The only way to stop it was to either let off the gas or stab the throttle. After replacing all the shocks I assumed it was from the rear axle link bushings but none were blown out. I found that when running my tire pressure at 26 psi that it went away. I usually run mine at 40 psi. Which didn't make any sense to me but it worked. I ended up replacing all the bushings in the front suspension with polyurethane and went back to 40 psi tire pressure. Hasn't happened again. So try running your tire pressure at 26 psi for a while if you aren't already and see if that helps. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Mine is a WD21, won't work on yours. Check the garage section. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yeah feeling much better Lol, I literally almost had a stroke when I saw the shipping. And was a little leary after ordering the idler arm brace. But realistically AC seems to be one of the few places to get upgrades for the older pathy's. Guessing you can't put a price on love...? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I'll say it, AC straight up bends you over on their shipping! They should include Vasaline or KY jelly with your order! When I was going to order 4 shocks for mine it was $70. For shipping. I ended up searching part numbers ( On NPORA) and ordered all, cost $1.00 more per shock and with Amazon prime had free 3 day shipping. When I purchased my idler arm brace they charged $15.00 shipping and it took over 3 weeks to get the part. Booooo on AC! Lol, feel much better now[emoji4] Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

That sucks, was hoping you were a little closer. Anyway if you want some guidance on the pathfinder issues PM me your cell and we can figure out what's wrong. I'm at the local dealer and can point you in the right direction. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

How far are you from Simi Valley? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

What's wrong with them? Maybe I can help out a little. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Let's set up a trip. What's a good date? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Sadly I have to work this weekend. Would love to go. Have camped and ridden dirt bikes out at Red Rock and Jawbone canyon for years but never wheeled out there. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Sweet, a little elbow grease and some love it will be a fun little toy. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Man, wish I knew. Would have loved to go. I want to plan a hungry valley run. Any interest? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

And welcome! Get us some pics! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I use taptalk and my cellphone to post pics, you have to play around to get it figured out. Also photo bucket. There are post about it if you do a little fishing on the main website. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

If you go to a dealership you will pay a premium and honestly we don't rebuild these very often anymore. The precise 1 is correct on what the problem is, the bulletin is to replace the trans case that has a updated fill hole location that is about 1 inch above the original. Find a reputable trans shop that is well established to replace all the bearings and whatever else may be damaged and make sure they reference the bulletin so they at a minimum can put the right amount of manual trans fluid ( GL4) in it Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

You've never driven in LA before, have you B.? Lol. I agree, and in a way disagree. Keep in mind I'm learning as I work on my pathfinder even though I've been at Nissan over 9 years. What I found with mine was the rear Springs were sagged really bad. Replaced them with OME and got 1 and 3/4 lift. But had negative caster. Then I replaced all the front suspension bushings with polyurethane and adjusted the torsion bars to level it front to rear. Had way negative camber and caster afterwards. Bought longer uca bolts and some washers to get it aligned where I was happy with the results. Lastly was able to buy some AC uca's used and after installing them went back to all the stock length bolts and reshimed to bring alignment into where I was happy with ( spent a lot of time on our alignment rack). I found the end result in my case being vehicle level front to rear, more down travel in the front, way better ride off the pavement and dropping into holes or sharp bumps(like going over a speed bump to fast ). However I have the luxury of a full shop/dealer at my disposal to play around with setup on mine. But generally I 150% agree that going that route for the average guy is time and money that can be better spent on more necessary repairs. Lastly I really like your pathfinder, love that color. Seems like all the ones out here are red or white. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I've heard that referred to as a welch plug. Seen a few leaking over the years including mine. They can be really difficult to remove. If you can get it out reseal it with a liquid Teflon sealant. If you can't get it out (forgive me please guys!) Seal it with JB weld. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

When we get some rain I'll message you and see if we can't set up a day trip to rower flats or gorman. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The only benefit would be down travel. And the suspension will only extend as much as the shock will let it. I have AC upper arms with stock length shocks and the bump stops removed. Doesn't fully extend where the arm contacts the frame. Eventually plan on low profile bump stops and longer Rancho shocks front and rear to gain max down travel. As it sits the suspension works really well. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Was able to find the website today, was searching a bit. Grassroots4x4LLC.com. $229.00 plus return your old center link. Really considering this upgrade. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I hope that he did too. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Just going to throw this out there because I've seen it. If you did not get the cam sprocket aligned with the dowl pin on a camshaft, torque it and collapse the pin, the sprocket can go out of "time" and damage the camshaft and even the head. Hope this did not happen! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

With my pathfinder I've put a good amount of money into it but with where I work and what I do it's still a lot cheaper than a car payment and much more rewarding. [emoji4] Realistically though I'm in the same boat as everyone else and tend to overthink problems with my own vehicle because it's out of my pocket. And again it can be extremely difficult to help with problems when you cannot see, listen, and feel what is going on. Hope that the distributor is the last thing you have to replace and you can enjoy the pathfinder. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I've been using mobile one 5/30 synthetic since I got mine. Had about 176k, have had no issues with leaks. I figure if mobile one synthetic oil is the recommended oil for many high performance and high line vehicles that it is best long term. However I still stick to a 3000 MI oil change schedule.

Ummmmmm, should of checked that thing a long time ago. That optical sensor tell the ecm when to fire (ground) the injectors and works with the coil and transistor. Which is why I kept asking if you pulled it out and checked that the shaft spins freely without resistance. I would probably put a used one in if it checked out ok and was really cheap. It looks like you finally isolated you main issue and soon will be able to enjoy your pathfinder. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
