Looking for an instructional on how to remove the center console from my 2011 PF. There is a rattle somewhere in there that I'd like to investigate, but can't seem to find a service manual or youtube video that applies. This was mine: http://www.thenissanpath.com/viewtopic.php?t=5269&highlight=...

That sounds simple enough to do. I will give it a check this morning when I get off of work. I keep getting suggestions that the tires are most likely out of balance. I haven't had tires be perfectly in balance at low speeds and then out of balance at higher speeds. Is that a possible factor here? ...

Metal or plastic noise? In time with wheel speed or something faster like the engine, transmission, fan or a pump?

Something that's leaning forward under braking and back under acceleration perhaps...

Just went over to Carid.com and found Daystar sway bar bushings and Daystar end links. Does anyone know the size I need??? There are many options. The Prothane front sway bar bushings are part number 14-1123. I'll know a suitable replacement size for the rear by this weekend when I get under my tru...

What's a good way to check the U-joints to see if they are good or bad? Unfortunately I don't have the funds to start replacing every part until it's fixed. The quick test is to grab the shaft near the U-joint and try to shake it laterally and check for play. When I started getting the 60-80 mph ru...

The front end links are K80470 and K80471 - found lots of places that sell them, bought mine from Amazon. The only weird part is they look completely different. But, eh, it's what everyone else is putting in on all of the Nissan forums. The rear end links are K750037 and K750038. It took some diggin...

Score! Thanks! They had a couple on close out for $25. I bought both, I'll have the one replaced and just hold the other for the next time. B-)

Dunno if my scan tool will work with TPMS, but definitely worth checking out...

So, I just got an '05 Pathfinder and took it on a 1200 mile road trip to West Palm for a week. While I was driving the highways I noticed that it starts to rumble a bit once you hit 80mph or more. It's like a subtle vibration or harmonic build up in the frame. If you've ever had mud tires on a car ...

I'm thinking of replacing all of mine sometime in the next year when my LTX's finally give up. Well...if they give up!

What's the current best price? I see $50/unit from Tire Rack and elsewhere.

Just thought I'd ask, has anyone ever identified polyurethane replacements for the rear sway bar bushings, or at least the sizing for a universal replacement? I have the Prothane front replacements coming in plus new Moog end links for all four corners, plus a set of OEM rubber rear bushings from Co...

Yup, what he said :-) The bags are pretty specific...I think there's a different model for the 2WD with very slightly shorter springs/ride height. That being said, I don't think you'll need the air bags with the H&R springs, I'd wait and see. Shorter and stiffer springs will likely fix the rear ...

Also when I accelerate I get a very fast rattling sound, I checked under the car and could not find any lose part, dont know if I should remove the sheet under the front of the car and also check there. The does not sound like a lose piece. check for a loose or broken exhaust shield clamp search th...

For the belt yes, and it's pretty easy to change. For the noise, is it a harmonic vibration/rattle right around 2700-3100 RPM with a peak around 2800 RPM? Sounds like its coming from somewhere around the firewall behind the dash? http://www.thenissanpath.com/viewtopic.php?t=5269&highlight= If so...

Hoping the rotors are held on by compression so all I have to do is smack them with a hammer to loosen and replace.

Yup, that's it. No weird spline interface or anything.

Mine is a little numb on center but typical for a truck. It does follow the camber of the road and take a bit of input to remain straight. Less than my old J30, more than a sports car. It doesn't "drift." Stuff I would consider if you're sure your Pathfinder is not like the other ones: - T...
