nycxice13 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ok I have a 98, it has 13X,XXX miles on it. Im feeling a wobbling feeling, like the whole body is moving. It does not occur at any specific speed. I have replaced the struts and stabilizers just this last week, and it is still there. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govols74n Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Heres an old post that should answer your questions..... For some reason the link wasn't working ( http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...mp;#entry184808 )so here it is below just in case. Hey everyone, my friend has a 96 pathy and it rocks back and forth real bad at any time while driving. It is so bad that the police pulled them over for it. He replaced shocks, struts...and I told him that maybe it was his sway bars. I haven't looked underneath yet, so what else should I look for? Thanx for your help once again, and he'll be joining the site soon. -------------------- post Nov 27 2006, 12:49 AM Post #2 Rear axle control arm bushings. You can either buy new polyurethane bushings and try to replace them yourself or buy whole new control arms from Nissan that have the same old craptastic OEM bushings in them....Happens all the time to R50's from 96-99. -------------------- post Nov 27 2006, 04:18 AM Post #3 I had mud (well dirt but it was mud when it got there) on the inside of my rims and threy it so off balance it was hopping wheels off the ground. It was dangerous to go over 40. I dont know if it is the same as your describing but check it out. -------------------- user posted image My cardomain page Go to the top of the pageReport Post +Quote Post MichiganAve Rating: 0 View Member Profile Add as Friend Send Message Find Member's Topics Find Member's Posts post Nov 27 2006, 09:46 AM Post #4 NPORA Fulltime Resident **** Group: Members Posts: 302 Joined: 16-March 06 Member No.: 2,060 QUOTE (4x4le @ Nov 27 2006, 01:18 AM) I had mud (well dirt but it was mud when it got there) on the inside of my rims and threy it so off balance it was hopping wheels off the ground. It was dangerous to go over 40. I dont know if it is the same as your describing but check it out. It is probably the trailing arm / control arms in the rear as 88 said. There are 5 bars that connect to your rear axle- he is referring to the upper and lower pair found on each side (the 5th bar is the panhard, there is only one). You can check them easily by giving them a good shake. If they have any play whatsoever, either change the bushings or just change the whole piece. If its a 96 and has never had them replaced, they very likely are shot. Get the wheels balanced. And make sure the alignment is in spec. -------------------- cool thanx all, ill help him check it out. Edited April 25, 2007 by govols74n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
