Bilsteins are shocks only and will not effect ride height.Citcope wrote:Getting the Bilstein HDs will they give you any kind of lift or will it leave the vehicle at its normal height? thanks..
Also on those two kits referenced above did you have to have a professional install them? or did you do it yourself?
Yes... They'll do an alignment after installing the kit. Also, This is the only shop in the area that I trust to do an alignment on my Pathfinder.Citcope wrote:thanks guys. Yeah i am confident in working on my Path just not confident in getting rusted parts off since i have over 100,000k on it and its been through enough northeast winters...
I am thinking on one of the kits in the above posts just need to call around to see on prices for the install of the coil overs.
Blue, Do you know if they will also make sure that the wheels are aligned as well afterwards and there is no issue with camber? Thanks.
I'm experiencing a similar, if not the same, problem on an '08 S 4x4 PF. It's got 130k now so I'm thinking a suspension overhaul is needed. Who has experienced this problem and how have they solved it??? The PF hits bumps and if speed is low enough the back end will just bob up and down. When I hit frost heaves or any bump on the highway (all over the place here in New England (RI), the back end of the PF shakes, jumps around and I feel like I might lose control of the truck. The steering wheel violently shakes back and forth and the whole vehicle sways around and shudders. It's my sisters truck, some if you may have seen my other posts, so I had no idea it did this until it happened today on the highway and scare the crap out of me. Sure enough I asked and she has experienced this and has been to the dealer several times and they say nothing is wrong. I even saw a receipt staying so. What's going on and how do I solve this??khaosduke wrote:Good thing I found this thread, I have an 05 pathfinder LE and have the same the problem, I get a side to side wobble on the highways if I hit a bump with the same exact feeling as previously described; also the ride is really harsh, but the ride was always really harsh it's just something I accepted when I got the truck (brand new). It has 47k miles on it now but I feel like changing the rear struts would be a good idea. It almost feels as if the rear screws up the front because as you take off from the bump the front holds steady but the rear throws everything out of whack.
I had the dealer look at it and they said there was nothing wrong at all with the suspension. Would you guys still recommend changing at least the rears? And the consensus seems to be the bilstein HD's ....
