somethingcool Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Uhh, I'm pretty sure no actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 with respect to aftermarket replacement, the Pathfinder and pickup (2 or 4wd) have the same upper and lower control arms. I do not know about OEM but I would guess it's the same answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesmaximase Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 I have also noticed for some reason that the upper control arms from ac have different numbers, But if they are actually different I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingcool Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Calmini has different part numbers for thier hb and Pathfinder arms, and until recently didn't even have pathy arms. Our pathfinders have about 1 inch more ifs travel than the hardbodies. I am pretty sure the oem arms are different; if I went aftermakert I would want something actually designed for a pathy, not a hb copy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I'll measure tomorrow when I go to the junkyard and find out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I measured eight different ways on three different UCA's and they all came out the same, as far as my tape measure is concerned. I measured overall arm length, spindle length, spindle bolt location and spacing, UCA bushing width, balljoint width and length, overall UCA height, bumpstop pad location, and everything else I could think of. They all matched. I measured a 97 HB, a 95 Pathy and an 89 Pathy. All 4WD, all with good UCA's(not visibly wrecked prior to measurement). The angle at the end of the UCA for the BJ may be a skosh different, but not that I could tell just by eyeballing it. Looked the same to me.
