Hi, All,
I'm a newbie to this forum, and I decided to join since I've "inherited" the responsibility of keeping my wife's '93 Pathfinder safe and road legal. I'm fairly competent mechanically, but this is my first encounter with a Pathfinder, and I've the feeling that I'm going to need lotsahelp . So, I'm glad to be with you, and I'm going to start by reading lots of the current threads.
Cheers,
Mike
A Newbie, with Responsibilities!

1993 Pathfinder suspension/steering
Thank you, both, for your welcomes, and now to the serious bit!!
I'm looking after a 1993 Pathfinder, V6, and according to the Haynes manual it has adjustable shocks.
Right, how are they adjusted?
I know that there is a fancy switch on the centre console which indicates SPORT or TOURING, but how do I know if it does anything?
What changes in the shock from SPORT to TOURING? Is there an on-board compressor that adjusts the pressure in the shock, or what?
Should I feel a difference in ride after changing from one setting to the other?
Still on suspension, or maybe steering, when going very slowly, on full lock there is a grinding sound. It doesn't appear to come from the hydraulic system, but is more of a metal to metal sound. Any suggestions of the cause, please, because I am reluctant to get beneath the vehicle when it is in DRIVE!
Many thanks for any suggestions and help.
Best regards to all,
Mike
