  1.  

    Original SFD guys were welding joints from some Honda car model onto the OE link. Not sure what model, could never find those details.

     

    You can't just use a spacer...the OE link has a single joint in it, and a second joint becomes required when the distance between the pivot gearbox and steering rack increases.

     

    So they are using the honda steering or parts form the pathfinder and honda to make one ? and im going to look at prices today for the steel to drop down the subframe and if it doesnt cost that much i will probably end up going with the woodward steering just to be safe and not have to worry about modify the one i have now. unless someone has down the modify route and will help me out.

  2. Instead of ordering a the u-joints and the shaft is there a way to modify the stock steering shaft for smaller SFD like a 2.5" SFD?

     

    Is there a way to make like a spacer for the steering shaft instead on buying a whole new steering linkage setup?

     

    If anyone has modified the stock one or maybe used other steering set ups from a differant vehicle will you let me know how you did modify it and if possible post a picture of what it looks like even if it is on your Pathfinder.

  3. CV binding isn't the only reason for an SFD. It's meant to correct all the effects of lifting, 2wd or 4wd:

     

    Driveline (4wd): restored CV angles, reduced binding, more efficiency

    Alignment: it moves the LCA mounts downward, effectively restoring kingpin inclination

    Steering: tie-rods are strongest, and work best, when level

    Suspension: restores travel and corrects ball joint angles

    Stability: sway bar links should be perpendicular to the sway bar mount to be the most effective

     

    When it boils down to things, though, these benefit 4WDers who find themselves in situations where obstacles can put significantly higher stresses on the components that street driving doesn't. SFD doesn't make any component stronger, but helps them work more efficiently. Obviously, there are less effects at 2" than there are at 4".

     

    Again, OP, what's the goal here?

    I want to get my truck lifted alittle in the front i have a 1.5 inch lift but it doesn't really effect anything. so i would do like a 3 inch subframe drop

  4. Well I am only 2wd and I know people ask why lift a 2wd but Its like why do people at SEMA have 2wd but still. My truck has a natural nose dive. I will probably end up doing a 4 inch sub frame drop and just have the 2inch ac coils for the rear. and have a little squats and run 33s and 22x14 american forces I have a set in my garage I will probably put on there.

  5. for anyone that has a business and wants to get the name out there i am building my pathfinder now and is having a subframe drop and 2 inch body with 33s roof rack and i want anyone that has stickers i will send you my PO BOX and i will pay for them if i need to thanks

    You have to call them. Tell the woman who takes your order it's for a Nissan Pathfinder lift kit. I spoke with her last month and she should remember the conversation and know what you'll need.

    so call up there to order the lift or the steering linkage
