For what it's worth, I would recommend you replace the entire control arm rather than just the ball joint. For about $30 more than the cost of a good, name brand, ball joint purchased online, you can get a brand new control arm with a lifetime warranty that includes a new ball joint and new control...

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think of this but still. Bright gauges drive me nuts. I'm going outside right now to do this!.

I will check the U-joints.. when I get some time. I can see what you might be talking about azaizai. The shudder is not very noticeable and since I've been driving it more I rarely notice it. Thank you both for the advise! Looks like I'm going to have to down it anyway because that creaking and popp...

Slight bumping at cruising speeds on 08

A few days ago, I noticed a ever so slightly bump or shudder while at cruising speeds. Usually between 45-75 mph. It has happened on level ground or a slight incline and doesn't always do it. If I give it more fuel or get off the fuel it will stop. Looking at the RPM gauge it stays steady, so I'm a ...

I'm a little unclear of what exactly your describing, but it sort of sounds like it's going into passing gear to me. If you gas it and the engine RPM's raise but no acceleration for maybe... half a second or so then you may have a problem. Is it shuddering while coasting? When it's cool, open the ra...

Grease Fittings?

So last week I pulled off the driver side front wheel to give the grease fittings a shot of grease, and to my surprise everything is sealed up... I've never owned anything with all sealed joints and I don't really care for it. The boots appear empty and dry, so is there any way to get some lube in t...

Sway bar bushings? They're crap and had updated part #'s a few years back. If you haven't changed them yet they probably need it either way. They were like $10 or something cheap like that. That was the only "repair" I did on my PF during the first 80k miles! My noises sounds almost like ...

I noticed mine does too, I haven't had it long so I was unclear if this was normal or not. Also my 2000 blazer likes to take it's sweet time going back to 2wd. Usually with it, putting it into reverse does the trick. The Pathfinder not so much. I just ride around for about 20 seconds and the front e...

New from NC

Hello everyone, New to the forum from NC and I recently bought my first Nissan. It's a 08 Pathfinder with 150k on it. High mileage I know, but was kept up extremely well. After I bought it I noticed a whine in the front of the motor. Thanks to a search and this website, the guy I bought it from took...
