Is the abs sensor you're reffering to the electrical sesnor on the diff? If it is, yes the one I am looking at has that, but my diff does not. It seems like all of the 00+ diff's have that sensor there.

Hey everyone, the rear diff in my Pathfinder with 235k miles hums pretty loud on the highway between 50 and 70mph and is now making noises at lower speeds. I also hear a growling noise around 20-30mph when slowing down. Recently, when putting the vehicle into drive or reverse, I hear a clunking noise. I had someone shift gears while I was underneath the vehicle and I visbily see the driveshaft rotate at the diff. Nothing is shifting at the tramission mount and no noise is coming from there. I was thinking of purchasing a 3rd memeber and swapping it out without removing the entire assembly. The plate under my hood says HG46 for the differential and I found one on ebay that appears to be in excellent condition and is also an HG46. However, this one is from an 01-02 frontier 2WD (there is also a plug connector on it, which mine does not have). Will this swap into my vehicle? I read online that the HG46 axles had 31 splines pre 2000 and 33 splines post 2000? Thank you

I'm purchasing new tires soon so I'll have it re-aligned. It tracks straight when I hold the steering wheel in the center, but as soon as I let go, the wheel settles to the right and the vehicle goes in that direction.

Thank you! I'll check this out, I did install camber bolts when I lifted the truck an inch 2 years ago.

Hello everyone, On my 97 SE Pathfinder 4x4, the steering wheel settles to the right when I let go of it driving down a straight road. Approximately around the 1 o clock position. Holding the wheel in the center, the vehicle tracks perfectly straight. I replaced the rack and pinion about 4 years ago using ACDelco brand, and I centered the rack. I’m not sure if it has been like this since, but I only noticed this now. The bushings are Nissan oem, and there is no play along those points or in the rack itself. I do notice that the front passenger side wheel appears to be toed to the right when the driver side seems to be straight. I’m not sure if that’s part of it, but I would think that would throw the entire alignment off when driving. If I hold the steering wheel straight, the car drives straight. Any thoughts?

Good afternoon everyone, Will the side mirrors from a 2000 Pathfinder work on a 1997 Pathfinder? Both are powered and heated along with the same connectors, but curious if it will mount up to the door before taking things apart. Styling wise, it appears slightly different.

Awesome! Does this part number work on the driver and passenger side front doors? I am looking to buy this for my 97 R50.

I'll get a picture of it and post it, but it shouldn't be much different with a 1 inch spacer lift. I'm not sure what the problem may be, the rear just feels slightly loose, but the entire suspension is brand new and everythign is installed correctly. I did have some rock the truck side the side and no suspenision component moves or shows signs of play. Any side to side rocking is visible at the tires.

Yeah, I tightened at ride height. Never changed the rear axle bearings, I'll have to take a look.

Front end is new too, no poly bushings up there though. Everything is good alignment wise, I have camber bolts as well, and it definitely feels like it is coming fromt the rear. I actually have no rust or rotten areas under the truck despite living in new york, I've always checked and cleaned under there yearly in addition to rust proofing. I have an open diff, no ratchet locker either. It's nothing drastic as a wobble or "death sway," but the rear can jerk to a side if I hit a bump and still has less stability than I thought it would have after converting to poly and upgrading all suspension components. Brakes are fine and u joints I replaced a few years ago with greasable ones. I'll try rotating the tires as I need to do so anyways and it is approaching the end of it's life, but still has decent tread on it. I know I need to balance the driveshaft as I get a vibration at a higher speed from the rear. This seems to happen more with speed on the highway rather than steering angle.

Hello everyone! What can cause a slight rear end wobble sensation on the highway despite replacing all of the suspension components? I put polyurethane problem solving bushings on all 4 links, including the panhard bar, poly sway bar bushings, new sway bar links, KYB gas adjust shocks, and Lesjofors rear springs. I can't say it sways like it did beofore, but I was expecting it to be more stable than it is right now. I do have a 1 inch spacer lift front and rear. Any ideas?

Okay, thank you. If I were to get a HG46 differential from an Xterra or Frontier, would that swap right in without any issues?

I checked the data plate and I have an HG46, and the 04 Pathfinder has an HG43. I'm assuming that will not work.

Hello everyone, the differential on my 97 Pathfinder with 220k miles has been humming for a few years now on the highway. Is it possible to swap over the 3rd member from an 04 Pathfinder? I am wondering if I can simply swap the 3rd member from the 04 Pathfinder into the differential housing on my 97 Pathfinder? Thank you

Yeah, I'll try to give it a shot. Can the EVAP line and fuel line be replaced with rubber all the way? The EVAP line is about the largest one running along the vehicle.
