Wow thanks for the detailed reply! I’m really inexperienced with cars, this is my first time really grabbing a wrench and digging in there. I actually kind of jumped the gun and put on a 3” suspension lift myself from 4x4parts.com. I’m trying to make it an off roader, not necessarily for rock crawling but I’d like it to be pretty beefy. That info you posted is super valuable though. I’m not exactly sure how to check on my components like ball joints and tie rods or wheel bearings. Been watching some videos to see what I’m looking at, I’m basically just looking for slop in the joints I guess. Everything did look pretty toasted under there when I was putting in the new suspension.

Hi guys, first time posting, I just picked up my Pathfinder a few months ago. Steering is shot to hell, Les Schwab wants 1500 to replace center link, upper ball joints, inner/outter tie rods, front wheel bearings and an Idler arm. I want to do it myself but I’m not sure where I should buy parts. I see such a range in prices for some components. Not sure where it’s best to spend my money. It’ll be my first time doing tie rods or ball joints. Any recommendations would be great!
