I have had the Firestone Coil-Rite for about 2 years now and haven't had any issues with it. It has been a GREAT improvement to the rear suspension. I have pulled a car trailer with a mid size car on it and didn't have any issues at all.

Re: Monroe Quick-Struts

Just swapped the front struts with these and so far very happy. For those that don't know, this is a complete assembly with new springs and Monroe Sensa-Trac struts. $228 delivered for both from RockAuto after a 5% discount code "2355848321758144" thanks to smj999smj. The swap was very ea...

I didn't have the General AW tires when I bought my pathfinder. It had the BFG Long Trails on that I didn't think were good enough for the New England snow. So, I got a set of General Grabber AT2's and I have to say, I've had them for 2 winters and they have been awesome.

Good Luck

I have been running my General Grabber AT2's for a second year now and I still LOVE these tires. I know that when the weather here in New England got bad this year, my wife always wanted to take my pathfinder. Now I have the AT2's on her truck and she loves them. She has even commented how she hasn'...

Sway bar bushings? They're crap and had updated part #'s a few years back. If you haven't changed them yet they probably need it either way. They were like $10 or something cheap like that. That was the only "repair" I did on my PF during the first 80k miles! I did have them changed when ...

It's actually a long squeak. It happens also by just turning the wheel to the left.

Creaking Noise up front

Hello all, I was wondering since there doesn't seem to be any zerk fittings. What else should I be looking at to identify the creaking noise when going over bumps and also turning left.
Any advice and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I know that some people don't like to do this but, in this situation if you don't have an impact gun that I would use a set of vise grips.

I have run the General AT2's since last winter and they have been a great tire. I was actually able to pull a full size crown vic, police car out of a snow bank up a hill that had packed snow from previous storms, without any issues at all. They didn't even spin break traction, that I could tell. Th...

Little cleaning

Just wanted to let you all know that because of the posts on this site, I successfully cleaned my MAF and throttle body without any issues. I used a stick to depress the accelerator pedal to clean out the throttle body.
Thank you for the awesome posts and guidance.

No one has any updates about this programmer?

Has anyone even used this programmer on another type of vehicle? If so, what were your results and impression?

Thank you for any and all advice and/or help.
