Guest Flying Pathy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sorry for being so vague. If I pump the gas it has a roll effect. When I slam on the brakes it Dips left and tries to roll. Going down the freeway I can it to oscilate almost to the point of rolling. It feels so unstable. Nissan Said it is typically the sign of the upper and lower rear struts or something like that. The Tire pressure is good but are oversize for the rims. But they have never been a problem in the past. I think it is the front torsion bars but am not sure. The torsion bars were torqed full about 100k ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sounds like your control arm bushings are shot. Quite typical. Do a search for trailing arm, or control arm bushings. There's a lot of information here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Do a bounce test to check your shocks. Bad shocks will let the vehicle sway as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Going down the freeway I can it to oscilate almost to the point of rolling. It feels so unstable. Well, I'd guess you are out of alignment and have worn front end components. Start outward and check inward. Tires, lug nuts, shocks tie rod ends, bushings, ball joints, etc... Also look for loose parts or missing bolts... Jacking it up and properly supporting it helps a lot. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yeah, a lot of things can cause the trouble you are describing. Is there any freeplay in the steering wheel? Wheels all straight? (I have a wobble from a bent rim myself) .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Pathy Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Thank you all for you input. Nissan Service couldn'ttell me anything. I will start trouble shooting. I think I will start with new tires and Shocks, they are both due for a change though the tires still have alot of tread. Thanks again I will post developments and progress thanks again.
