Phantom01Pathfinder

Yah my thread turned into a mess but there is lots of good info in there...

Welcome! You found the best site for wanting to find out anything and everything about your pathfinder. check out this link to how i did my lift...hope it helps http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=29594

Yah i want them too!!!

sorry i have no idea...

thanks...ill be looking into this before my Badland trip in July

yah thats what i thought the purpose of the manual hubs was...not to turn the front shaft. I just dont know why my boots are still tearing if they arent spinning... and i know my hubs are installed correctly...i checked to make sure that they engage and disengage properly...so im dumb founded...

It always tears on the inner boot, right next to where the metal clamp is that seals the boot to the shaft. have you had issues? do you run with your hubs locked or unlocked?

Is anybody else having issues with torn boots? my original driver side is torn as i stated above, and the CV i just replaced on the passanger side is torn now... ive only wheeled one time since installing the lift... any thought?

As will I

Sorry for the super late reply...brake dust is minimal and so is the noise. If i have the radio off and the windows down you can hear them when applying the brakes, but having the radio off is rare, lol. And if you have aggressive tires you wont hear it at all...

if you got reciepts, show them all that. if i were you i would fight tooth and nail to get as much as possible out of it. how many miles do you have on yours?

Nope no welder for me...but that would be awesome. i just checked my truck today again from the outside, was banging the hammer on it seeing what it was like and found no issues...but ill be replacing a CV soon on the drivers side so then ill be able to look more into it

This is very disappointing to see and hear...i really dont want to take my truck in now...

yep no button anywhere inside the truck...ive searched for a long time trying to find a button also...i believe only the key opens the rear glass...

And this is only on the driver side?? Is this pathy able to get fixed??

if you want to save some cash and get cheaper shocks i would recommend that. I bought 2 procomp ES3000 shocks online for the price of 1 bilstein. had to modify the eyelet mount to install but overall i saved about $45.

thats why i havent taken mine in yet...read up and everything that is posted on the recall then make your best judgement call...thats what i am going to do... definately get the fuel filler tube fixed tho...got mine done a few years ago...thats a quick fix

yep if they decide its unsafe to drive, they will hold it and give you a rental...keep me posted on what happens...i dont know waht i am going to do as of right now...probably call another dealer to find out if i get a different answer

search here on the forum for the topic regarding this issue...Pezzy started it and others have talked about their experiences with the recall. check it out before u take it in if thats the route u decide...because if the dealer thanks its unsafe to drive they will hold ur pathy until it gets fixed...if its even repairable

haha i ran into a similar situation, but it was the opposite. The dealer told me i was not affected, and Nissan North America told me i was affected. And to take it to the nearest dealer for service. So i guess i need to take it to the dealer that told me i was not affected to get it looked at... it is for pathfinders...find out who you talked to at NONA and talk to someone else

His 2000 has the VG motor not the VQ... Maybe general maintenance should be your first concern like Tungsten said...

I dont believe that is what he is saying. I think E34R1017 means that its the same process to install new parts as it is old parts. You dont HAVE to get new struts, but i would highly recommend it if you got the originals. you should have left over money too if you budget is $3000. i spent about $2100 for everything, struts, lift coils (AC lift), OEM hardware, wheels, tires, WARN manual locking hubs and i think thats it. i installed the back with a friend and had my mechanic do the front coils... so you can use the extra cash for CV's (because 1 is eventually going to fail), skids, maybe rockrails?

Ive read somewhere that we are limited to 105mph...personally i have only got mine up to 100mph

I believe you would have to change out the whole front clip also. When i look at the front of earlier R50's and later R50's i notice slight differences between them.
