Thank you, I will get those too. I am noticing that my car rocks side to side when I go over a speed bump and the back suspension started to squeak. The shocks are new.

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 ro...

Rack and pinion

I am starting to notice that my Rack and pinion is going out. I did had it inspected about 3 months ago and it was starting to slightly show some oil leak on the left side. I do have alignment problem in where when I go high speeds I have to twist the steering wheel to one side and slow speeds to an...

If the hoses are original, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them while replacing the radiator. Gates makes a lot of the Nissan radiator hoses, so if you want something close to OEM, get Gates #'s 22275, 22276 and 24170. If you want to do belts, Bando is an OEM supplier to Nissan. Get Bando #'s ...

Nissan Power Steering fluid is basically re-packaged NissanMatic Type "D" ATF....which is essentially Dexron II ATF. So, automatic transmission fluid or red power steering fluid is fine; I use Valvoline Maxlife full-synthetic ATF in mine. What you don't want to use is clear or amber power...

You didn't mention what brand you were looking for. The genuine Nissan part is # 21460-0W517 and sells for over $400 online and over $600 at the dealer. Nissan also offers their Value Advantage Line which is made by an OE company and is competitively priced with the aftermarket; that is part # B1D4...

Power steering fluid

I am going to order a Rack and Pinion pretty soon since mine is about to go out (it starts to make noise on sharp turns) in which I am contemplating on what kind of fluid I should add to it. I have used Royal Purple Power steering fluid on my other cars in which I had no problem but I went to their ...

Radiator

I got a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4X4 automatic, in which it is about 172K miles, I just bought recently a timing belt kit (with the water pump) and wanted to replace the radiator as well. I have bought already the new thermostat, cap, and since the radiator has some rust floating around I wanted to...

The bushings he's referring to are the ones in the upper and lower, rear suspension links. Honestly, you are better off just replacing the entire link assemblies and the bushings can be a bit of a pain to press in and out. Also, Dorman Products sells complete links at a reasonable price which carry...

Rear suspencion

I took my car to get the distributor installed on Saturday and the mechanics could not get the timing right. Turns out that the timing belt is off by a teeth in which whoever installed it in the past prior to my ownership, the mechanic did not do the job right. Also turns out that I need a new water...

Aww good! I was going to take it to emissions after getting the parts installed.

Monitors

Next week I am taking the car to a shop to get the Knock position crank sensor/ distributor changed (currently have Autozone parts changing them to Nissan Quality) knowing that the battery will get disconnected, how can I reprogram the monitors under 1 shot? Can I just drive at 65 mph to hit all of ...

Usually that's just the sound of the coolant running through the heater core that people hear and it's not a problem. You could try purging the system to make sure there isn't any air in the system to see if it helps. With the engine cold, remove the cap and install a "spill-free funnel."...

Water noise from firewall

Lately I been noticing that my car is making this water noise when I start it up in the mornings (cold mornings), from what it seems to me it is coming from the firewall behind the dashboard. I have checked for leaks and negative results as well coolant level and negative on that as well. Can it be ...
