Where can I find a body and frame parts diagram for the front frame and suspension for my 4x4 Pathfinder. I have a clunking noise that I want to fix. Have checked the ball joints to be good. New front struts and rear shocks. Noise seems to be coming from drivers side front. BTW, this Pathfinder was in a front minor collision before I owned it. MTG

I like your pressure water solution. Imagine what the persons lungs look like that was the owner. MTG

Drove my Pathfinder from SW NM to NW MT, 1350 miles. Nothing broke, seized, never broke down. But, now that it is home I will put up on 4 good jack stands to find noise. MTG
-
Some weeks back I jacked up the rear of the car, placed on jack stands, started my Pathfinder and put into drive. Crawled under to perhaps diagnose the noise. Could not identify any specific droning noise. I did not raise the front end for same. This drone/whine I hear inside the vehicle when I drive.
This morning I drove my Pathfinder in 4x4 high and low. No difference in noise other than a whine in 4 wheel low which I assume could be normal, perhaps.
The real issue is that I want to drive this home to Montana, 1400 miles. Therefore my paranoia regarding this noise. WTH, could be my aggressive tires.
Really not comfortable placing all four wheels in the air and running up to highway speeds.

Onespiritbrain, I do have larger aggressive tires that I have been running a 30psi. For the life of me the noise comes from near the front drive shaft near the rear transfer case. But, what the heck, I can only hear the howling within the vehicle compartment. I have checked and repacked front wheel bearings. I will drive and check the rear diff case for heat.
approximately how much play at the rear of transfer case in yours? MTG
-
Towndawg, my 2000 Pathfinder is not lifted. There are no mechanical noises, clunks or mechanical engagement noises other than the droning noise lessons when I reduce speed. I thought the universals would be the issue but both are tight and no play. MTG
-
Fluids were changed approximately 8000 miles ago. Could not hurt to do again. No play at differential end. Just slight play at transfer case end. MTG

Have been driving my 2000 Pathfinder for approximately 10,000 miles now, one year. It has a droning, light howling noise in the drivetrain. Put it up on jacks upon returning from 100 mile round trip today. Have been thinking universal joints, but no play. Universals do not clunk when put into gear. There is a slight play, less than 1/8” in the shaft where it slips into the rear of the transfer case. But does not seem excessive. There are no leaks from transfer case or any other obvious leaks underneath. ???????
At one point thought it may be exhaust noise. What think you all? Is this a common issue? My Pathfinder, SE, 4x4 has just over 150,000 miles on the odometer. It runs great, starts great. Have no other problems other than this noise that bothers me. Thanks for the input. MTG

Thanks all for the input. MTG

Looking to purchase an IPhone adaptable code reader for my 2000 Pathfinder. Want something simple and easy to read and compatible to my IPhone. Not a computer wizard but can decipher information. MTG

Great Pictures Micah. I love wheeling in the mountains of NW MT. But, do not miss the snow. Plan to be home to Ronan mid April. Although, not for long as we will be off to Australia and New Zealand most of June. Will be bringing my ‘00 Pathfinder home from NM for more upgrades during the summer months. Keep posting pictures.

Will Mile Marker 435 hubs fit my 2000 Pathfinder?

OK, so owners manual says when on constant could be an emissions problem. Did all the code research...NOTHING. Pathygig12 seems to have same issues. BTW, thanks for the help and input all. I am going to put Lucas fuel cleaner in my fuel tank for next few fill ups. This should clean injectors, fuel tank, fuel lines and engine to some degree. Always had faith in Lucas products. In online reviews it states that when engine is clean burning it should clean catalytic converter. Not @bsolutely hanging my hopes on fuel system tho’. With hope this will help. MTG

OK, service engine soon light on once again.Went to Autozone to have them read the code. No code came up. This occurred 3-4 weeks back and light extinguished after a few days. No issues running, no issues stopping, no issues period. But service engine soon lamp is on. The owners guide says take to dealer..
NO! Service is well up to date. ???? MTG

Do not believe entire rear suspension is shot. I am the second owner and original owners used Pathfinder for everyday use. Was always serviced at Nissan dealer, not that that is a good thing.
I believe it was not used off road or to tow. Seems the shocks are original. It bottoms too easily with little load.
I really do not want to do a Lift. But, if new shocks will help I will start there. I am attempting to find a shock a little bit longer and heavier duty.
-
My Pathfinder bottoms out terrible in the rear. My thought, currently, is to get longer, heavier springs, perhaps LandRover. Then buy a good set of quality rear shocks that are a bit longer and heavier duty. BTW, this has nothing to do with the front suspension. The front suspension has new struts, links, and all new last spring. But, I will do a 2” spacer lift on the new struts that I installed last spring. The issue has to do with the rear suspension bottoming out. I will remove the spacers upon doing the front lift.
Someone posted the Land Rover springs and front lift spacer. Where to buy these components. MTG
-
OK, not carrying anything. Springs must be shot. Might have to look into new springs. Land Rover springs may be in the future with a 2” spacer on the struts. Then new shocks.
-
Want rear shocks but want longer, beefier shocks. Who makes a shock for my 2000 Pathy R50? MTG
-
OK, light went off on its’ Own. XPLORx4, no issues regarding drivability that I can discern. I had the code read at Autozone. Nothing found. The indicator light is at the very top left of the odometer housing. Off now! Will keep an eye on things. MTG
-
Service vehicle light came on. Stopped at Autozone, they checked to find NO codes. I am assuming this is the normal dealer light that illuminates when oil, transmission, etc. needs service. I just changed oil, transmission and differentials have been serviced within 1000 miles. Plugs have been changed, air cleaner element replaced, brakes replaced, etc. Cannot think of anything that needs service.
So, how does one reset the service vehicle lamp in the upper right hand corner of the odometer display. I disconnected battery for 2 hours. No change. Pathfinder runs great. No problems that I currently know of. MTG

Will be returning to Gary Herberts lodge near Omarama north of Queenstown with my lovely wife of 49 yrs. My grandson and his mother. My grandson will be hunting red stag, fallow deer and perhaps some goats. I will be hunting fallow deer, maybe a goat and doing some water fowl hunting as I already have a good red stag, a tahr, an Arapawa sheep and many wallabies.
We traveled to NZ in 2016 for our first trip. Spent some time in Queenstown. I was very excited to see some many Pathfinders, Sidekicks and more with Diesel engines. Would like to have one here in NW Montana.
PM me with a phone number and if there is any outside chance we could meet or even talk during our visit to NZ it would be great. MTG

KiwiTerrano, We will be traveling to Queenstown June of 2020. Will be in Queenstown for three nights two days prior to hunting. MTG

Arizona in March. Then Montana in July. We have some beautiful and outback off-roading here in MT. Yes, meeting in Arizona in March would be a real winter escape. Especially for those that live in cold country. But, then MT in July for amazing off roading and wonderful summers. MTG
2000 Pathfinder body and parts diagram?

Replaced sway bar bushings and found rack and pinion bellows boot to be torn. Replaced the boot, checked other bushings to be good. Looks as though the ball joints have been replaced. Now, will have front end aligned. But, at this point my R50 drives and sounds great. A pleasure to glean information from these forum posters. Thank you all. MTG
