I just picked up a 92 from my son. It needs a bit of tlc, but I really enjoy it. I have a 90 FSC and driving that is like driving a bus compared to the Pathfinder (sorry, can't make myself say 'pathy'). Having fun with the rig. Lotso body roll and flex to figure out. Thing sure is loaded in options. Can't wait to go play with it in the Utah wilderness.

I'm in Lehi. New to the state.

Ony 50% beer-to-work ratio? Seems like you went about this all wrong. You motivated types make it tough for the rest of us.

Pretty much. I have changed them on a Suburban and a Mustang. Before you start look at the pulley you are replacing to see what you might need to pre-load the spring on the pulley if it is a tensioner also.

Sorry about that guys, I'm a bike guy and not so much a car guy. Sometimes the thing kinda feels like you are setting on top of a slinky. Not bad shock feel, a lot of body roll/lean and then when recovering from that it is kinda marshmallowy. I rebuilt the front brakes today and when I took off the passeger side front rotor/hub assembly I noted this bar/rod that extends from a bracket on the frame to the front, I believe it is called, A arm. The bushing at the point where it is attached to the frame seems so worn there is a good 20mm gap between the front of the bushing and the mount. I'm sure this isn't good. I started inspecting the rest of the bushings and a lot of them are hard and/or worn. Sounds like the culprit? I did a standard bounce test for the shocks and they seem to be working. I want to lift the truck, some by suspension and some by body lift. Will this in any way influence what bushings I buy? ie is there a "lifted" bushing kit and a "stock height" bushing set? Sorry to be so ignorant. Thanks for the replies! CBM

Greetings to the group. I recently purchased a 1990 Pathfinder. I noticed that the thing wallows and wobbles kinda like a ship in a storm. Not being a real experienced 4WD guy I thought I might ask y'all where I might look to find what is causing all this commotion. Thanks in advance!! CBM

Thanks for the reply, although you seem to think I am maligning the vehicle . I am an engineer by profession and one of the things I do is look for trends. On this particular vehicle everything works except the fuel gauge and 3 windows. Any statistical analysis would lead a rational person to wonder if this is an anomoly or demonstrative of a weak point in the system. I am quite knowledgable on Harley Davidsons, and should you ask me about certain issues I would be able to inform you on occasion that you are dealing with a known problem with the motorcycles and "the fix", and that was all I was looking for here. I have little domain knowledge on Nissan Pathfinders. Being the lazy guy I am I decided to search and find a domain knowledge source such as this forum and do a search on my problem. Finding none I posed my original question. Again, thanks for your reply. I assume by the lack of responses that this is not a common problem and probably just 3 broken regulators/mechanisms. CBM

Greetings to the group. I just purchased a 1990 Pathfinder. 3 of the windows not only don't work electrically but slam all the way to the bottom when I hit a bump. I imagine something in the regulator is broke. Seeing as all but the drivers window display the same symptom I am wondering: 1- Is this a known problem with the model? 2- Any advice/shortcut/local knowledge on the repair? 3- Is there a stregthened replacement part I sould persue? Thanks in advance to all replies. CBM
