Any recommendations to fix this problem?

Sounds exactly like my ride. Love the SUV but the ride is HORRIBLE! Sounds like you need springs also.

Not so happy with this service dept right now. Took my 2006 Pathfinder in for reg. servicing that included check-up of hoses, fluids et. I asked if the battery gets checked. Yes they say. Told them there was corrosion on a terminal and they told me"yup, that would be the cause of my weak batter...

You say "Installing new springs actually sound pretty easy in the rear because no special tools are required". Do you know no special tools are required? The springs don't have to be compressed, thats a bounus. Have you done this upgrade? Anyone out there done this upgrade in thier garage?...

Thanks, your pre-mod explanition of the ride feel is exactly what mine feels like. Maybe I need springs and not shocks. Was you choice of springs based on price...

The hyrolic's are fine, just the connection to the car. The little sliders keep popping off due to the angle of ...

So, new to me 2006 Pathfinder. After one month i've got one really annoying problem. The rear window hydrolic lifts (the ones that keep the window up when open) keep popping off at the top (where they connect to the window at a little metal ball). They are designed with a slider to attach easily but...
