Such discrepancies in parts pricing. I called a couple more Nissan dealers and got the same pricing. 10x as much for the same OEM parts in the USA, ridiculous. I've used Mevotech for some aftermarket stuff too.

Figured I'd post this.
The coil bucket cam bolts are a shorter length. Same plate and nut.

I hear you. I was under my truck, ready to do all the rear uppers and lowers. I called it and sent it to the shop, and the bill was NOT pretty. But lying on my back sawzalling for 2 days just wasn't going to happen. Surprisingly, (or not) the most expensive part was getting the bolts from Nissan. I...

Replaced the R/rear control arm because of the seized adjuster bolts. Wasn't too bad of a job. The Diablo metal sawsall blade made quick work of the bolts. Definitely easier to drop the coil spring arm for access. Hardest part was not having a hoist and doing it with jack stands on the ground. Hoist...

An old thread.... but I seem to experience the same low idle issue at a stop when warm. It is at about 700 RPM and fine then dips to 650 and is rough, no misfire. Just annoying as hell. That small bump in idle would fix it. 2010 V6 LE

Clock malfunction

This is odd. 2010 V6 LE with backup camera. No Navi.
The clock keeps loosing its time setting after key off parked. I set it and it's fine while driving around.

Pathfinder ability

I'm a new owner of a 2010 V6 Pathy. So are these a really good 4x4 as compared to some of the other SUV types out there? It's stock with some bigger 18" tires. I've actually bought it for the greater towing and power specs.

I assume the axle pulls out from the bearing spline, not pressed in?

towing

I went for my first tow. Used equalizer hitch, put the air bags at 20lbs. It towed fine on the highway. I find the hitch is a bit too high to level the trailer off the hitch. Will need a lower drawbar. But overall it works good and doesn't struggle at all.

front control arm removal

I'm looking at the lower front control arm removal. Is there enough room between the axle joint and top of the ball joint to get the pin up from the knuckle? It looks really close.

more trouble

Well it gets worse. Another seized bolt in L/front control arm. Looks like it will need a couple control arms and the cam bolts to make it right. Sometimes these repairs just turn into nasty.

done

Well I got the moog springs and airlift installed. Took about 4 hours, not bad. Ride height is 35' to the lip of the fender. Increase of 1 inch. Has a slight rake to it. I didn't need the rear shocks. The Bilstein were actually less firm than the OEM in there. Problems with the alignment tho. One of...
