ntwrkguy1 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm having my '97 Pathfinder 4x4 aligned in the morning (it's drifting ever so slightly), and I was curious about something. The shop is a reputable one, and they offer 2 and 4-wheel alignments. I thought that 4-wheel alignments were for cars with IRS? If you have a solid axle in the rear, why would you need the rear tires aligned? Or am I missing something here? And does the fact that it's a 4x4 have any bearing on the type of alignment I need? Thanks in advance! ntwrkguy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M in KC Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I don't know about your '97 but my '91 is only a 2 wheel alignment and its a 4X4 as well. My rear axle is solid and I'm pretty sure your's is as well. Aligning these rigs is not the easiest to do even with a good shop. So watch how she rolls when you're off the rack. And have the shop explain why you would need a 4 wheel alignment given the fact that you have a solid rear axle. That ought to be interesting.

ntwrkguy1 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'll definitely post their reply, if they do try to 'sell' me the 4-wheel alignment. Mine does have a solid rear axle, so they should be content with just aligning the front! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
