Got it. Thank you.

Thanks for the info. I'll call the local Nissan dealer tomorrow about that quality control campaign. When I'm driving normally there isn't any sway, so I hope I can discount the rear link bushings.

Hello, My '97 Pathfinder, has new Big O Big Foot tires and was given a check up at the Carmax shop where I bought it and my own mechanic looked at it this morning to no avail. Here's the problem: Traveling on the freeway doing 65 when I had to brake hard to avoid hitting a braking car in front of me. The feeling was that the front of the truck was dipping to the right and the rear of the truck was swerving hard to the left. Unnerving to say the least. I plan to try to duplicate the situation tomorrow but I feel that braking even at slower speeds tends to make the vehicle act the same. My mechanic checked the pads and rotors but didn't find anything abnormal. There is a valve of some sort under the rear of the truck that is attached to the body and the brake line runs through it. He doesn't know what this is and suspects that it might be contributing to the problem. I think that it has something to do with the amount of load in the truck somehow related to the rear brake pressure. Anyway... I sure would like some advice because my 30 day everything Carmax warranty expires on the 17th. Thanks, ccgeezer

Hello, I drove my 4Runner into the ground with over 200,000 miles and it was time for a new truck. I just got a '97 Pathfinder from Carmax: 63,400 miles, black paint, beige cloth interior, V6, and it looks like new. I'll put a radiator bumper with lights on later to get it up to driving in the desert. There's a problem with the brakes but I post that at another place. ccgeezer
