Front suspension

[Guest DTECH]

I took my PF to shop for aligment. I was told the camber is out which it is. They offered to put shims in, but that sounds stupid. Wouldn't it be the upper and lower A arm bushings, after 222k being worn out causing that. Any adivce?

Could be, but shims are a normal part of fine tuning the alignment for caster and camber.

They shouldn't even have asked, they should have corrected the camber and given it back to you.

Here's a tip:

 

Take your Pathfinder to a FRAME shop, not some cheap front wheel alignment place. Although the Pathfinder does not need a 4-wheel alignment, its 3-way alignment (tie-rod, upper control arm shim, torsion bar level) is usually done incorrectly at a car alignment shop.

 

And if your bushings are worn and you're keeping the vehicle, install a full set of Energy Suspension polyurethane front bushings (upper control arm pivot, lower control arm pivot, and torsion rod end). Without these, no alignment will be accurate for long.

Thanks for the advice, I am definitely going to get bushings done first.
