Thanks for letting me know! It came to a point now that if I turn the steering wheel into a pothole or a dip I can hear the left tire screech now! kinda am worried. I plan on using the Royal Purple ATF for the power steering. I hope I can find the hoses for it, thank you for the tie rods ends!smj999smj wrote:Well, it's about $50 more than the others, but if it were me, I'd go with the ACDELCO 36R0788, which carries a limited-lifetime warranty whereas most of the others are just a couple of years. But, if you want it, you better hurry because there is only 1 left!
I would also get a couple of new tie rod ends, MOOG ES3466. Check a good look at your hoses before you order in case you needs any of those, as well. Also, do NOT use the clear or amber power steering fluids that are sold in the parts and department stores; Dexron III/Mercon ATF or red power steering fluid should be used. The clear and amber power steering fluids are usually specified for US domestic and some European applications.
A real common problem on these vehicles is the rear suspension links. Often the bushings will split and cause the back end of the vehicle to wander all over the road, especially at high speeds. If that's the case with yours, the parts are listed under "control arm" at Rockauto. I would go with two of Moog # RK660903 and one each of Dorman # 905803 and 905804. It might also be a good idea to get new bolts, as sometimes they will seize to the sleeve inside the bushing and need to be cut out with a Sawzall. You can get the bolts from Nissan. When you tighten the bolts, make sure the suspension is loaded with the weight of the vehicle (as opposed to tightening the bolts with the suspension hanging, say, with the body supported with jack stands or a lift).jetstream87 wrote:Thank you, I will get those too.

My mechanic told me that the bushings, right now I am hearing a light squeak when I go over a speed bump or going into a driveway and the back lowers. By any chance do you know what bolts I will need? I am doing all that when I change my rack and pinion.smj999smj wrote:A real common problem on these vehicles is the rear suspension links.
