I just did my transmission and full driveline a couple days ago, before driving from CA to VA. I'm not really worried about differential oil going bad, but...let's just say it made more of a difference than I thought it would, between shifting, smoothness, and the oomph in "crawl" from a standstill ...

Just remember that most entry level Bilstein shocks have digressive valving. They are, but that by itself just tells us the shape of the curve, not the actual values. TBH a digressive shaped curve is what we want in most scenarios: lots of low speed damping and not so much, or less high speed dampi...

Nope...but now I'm certainly curious about it. I'm about to drive cross country to move to CA, so I looked at mine through the wheel well a few hours ago while I was doing something else. Mine looks good now (better than all the pictures I've seen online when replaced, which is odd since most things...

You guys really like floaty, bouncy rides. I like corners. :P The Bilsteins could probably do with a little less high speed compression damping for stuff like square edged inputs, but the too-low rebound damping of the KYB's, Ranchos, etc. made me hate them. I recently rode behind my truck while so...

I'm thinking most or all of the non-Nissan springs out there now are coming from the same place. The AC Delco springs sure look a lot like the Moog springs in pictures. I think the KYB's are underdamped, particularly in rebound. But that seems to fit a lot of people's preference as that's how a lot ...

You know the only thing better than poly steering bushings?

Delrin steering rack bushings.

True, if it's the latch or the rear window wiper assembly, which does come loose on people. But the OP had issues inside the rear door. Hard to tell what's going on for who here

Just poked around Amazon. I can't find any dimensions anywhere but the fronts and rears "look" the same. Maybe let us know if they work? Meanwhile, I may be replacing my rear sway bar anyway. I replaced the bushings a few nights ago and the ones I took out had deteriorated quite a bit, although only...

I have a rear set of PRG links that will be going into the rear and when I bought it, their site says: "These are replacement sway bar end links for guys running tall leveling kits or extended travel upper a-arms. These are 1/4" to 1" longer than stock to prevent the endlinks from rotating past the...

2. The heim Sway Bar End Links are designed to replace and upgrade the crappy factory end links that are a common failure point on both the Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Pathfinder, and Nissan Xterra. The heim end links are much stronger than the stock parts they replace and ...

Would be the same thing. Open the rear hatch, remove the interior liner (plastic piece), and find whatever's rattling. I also damped and insulated my rear hatch. It's pretty surprising how much noise from way back there makes it all the way forward. I could hear the clinking of the lock on my bike r...

I fixed this issue by wrapping some electrical tape around the ball joint and it really snugged up the fitment of the ball joint. it had to be pressed into place after I wrapped it with the electrical tape. IS THIS OK TO DO OR WOULD YOU GET A NEW CONTROL ARM INSTEAD? I can't see how electrical tape...

ShipFixer

Super wierd. I would imagine if the fan motor were failing you would see indications of it. You can remove it and test it though.

I am thinking electrical...relays, signal ground somewhere, failing controller? Have you traced out the power and control lines in the manual to check them?
