  1. I have a 91 Pathfinder I have never serviced the ac in any way and I don't know if it was eber recharged by the previous owner. It blew cool air last summer, but it is not cool now. Can I buy any can of freon from an automotive store to try recharging? is there anything I should do before trying this?

  2. I found the topic that comntains the link, but my computer freezes every time I click on the topic to get to the link. I am not sure if the problem is with my computer or if it is a site issue. The topic is "Found WD21 service manual" posted by XMAS in Feb '08. If some one would check that out and let me know if it works for them it would be appreciated.

    Also, the replies I am reading appear as though they are several pages long, I have to scroll down really far to get from one reply to the next. Is there a setting I can change in regard to that?

  3. Thanks for the responses. I have a Chilton, but do not have access to it at the moment. I am out of Town and had to diagnose a problem. I had the FSM page bookmarked on the old site, but I have not logged on in a while and did not even know the site had chnged. If I had known I would have found it again before I needed it.

  4. Although I do have a tap, I'm making referance to a seperate issue. If you hold a piece of paper an inch or two from the exhaust pipe it will periodically suck the paper toward it. I have had a slight prblem with this for a while, but this weekend I changed the sparkplugs, wires, rotor cap and rotor button. After changing them it started doing it a lot, to the point where some times the engine cuts off. When the temperature needle stars to go up it starts to smooth out and when its hot it does not happen at all.

  5. When my engine idols cold it has a problem with what my brother described as "sucking valve". When it warms up to normal operating temperature it stops doing it. I need a list of possibilities?

  6. i have no idea i didn't do the fix. basically there are long metal "skirt" pieces that go over the rod and basically fit between the rod and the frame, both left and right had been eaten through the right one was fused the rod itself somehow so i had to get a new rod. they welded metal the upper part of the whole and sanded it to size and then put the new parts on, no squeek now. but there is a whole in the main cv boot so i got boots but i guess they require some more labour becaue they are backwards from other cars... ?

    Ok I got hung-up over the same line as Simon, but I realised LittleRed was the person that I quoted so I guess it dosen't matter.

  7. if you get the plate welded, try to weld it to the backside. this sounds like the hardway but welding to the front will increase your castor angle. also IF you want to rplace those bushing cups with something sturdy let me know, you can weld a a bearing cup in place; I have the p/n and supplier for the one that most closelsy fits the oiginal rubber bushing shape. they run like $5 ea, you'll want 4 (front/back both sides). this mod should end all ROD ISSUEs

    Would the bearing cup you are reffering to fit a '91 4wd. I noticed the welding on one of my bushing cups is coming loose. Maybe thats what is causing my steering issues.

  8. I was skimming through the repair manual under 'front axle and suspension' and read that the free running hub "brake set" should be measured for proper thickness. I'm curious though. What would the simptoms of improper thickness be, if any?

  9. Snorky,

    The dealer may have been quoting a price for two whole lower link assemblies, rather than just four bushings. Go to courtesynissanparts.com (which is an official Nissan dealer's web site), the bushings are about $20 apiece from them. Add four bushings to the "shopping cart" then print out the shopping cart page and take that to your dealer. Ask if he will match Courtesys price (ie. throw in some of his commission). If not, order over the web.

  10. I have a Yakima Mega Warrior (rack and basket) a may be interested in selling. Not a bad basket, but I do not like the bars that go through the middle. If your interested send me a PM, its not goning anywhere any time soon so take time to think about it.

  11. I have a 91 Pathfinder. When driving on roads that slope to the right my Pathy pulls to the right. If the road slopes to the left the Pathy pulls to the left. It has been doing this for several months now. I have taken it in for alignments several times.
