well adding to my list of issues.

i swear im going to just get rid of this thing....

anyways

i was having problems with overheating. took it to a shop and they said "i think it's headgaskets"

didnt like the "i think" part so i took it to another shop that said "i think it's headgaskets"

wasnt ...

well, went out and replaced the radiator, still overheating.

decided to take it to a shop to check out and after fussing with it for a few hours he said

"i got all the air out i think but its still overheating. i THINK the head gaskets are blown"

now mind you it will idle relatively ok but once ...

tstat replaced yesterday.

i replaced the heater hose stupid arrangement (like 300 bux) about a year ago cuz it was leaking.

2007 pathfinder 4x4 SE
230k miles

went on a 500 mile trip with no issues, started overheating the second in pulled into my driveway.

history:
timing chain and water pump replaced < 5000 miles ago due to the popular rattle

new coolant added at the same time.

i noticed that when it was ...

front is rancho quicklift

rear is 4x4parts mediums with bilsteins and a set of bags

goin with 2" to get a little higher but not need to stretch/extend stuff

if i do it ill try to post up a DIY. UHMW isnt that expensive.

oh it's got a suspension lift already. just want to raise the body so it actually looks like its lifted

the damn thing comes from the factory too low as it is considering it's a body on frame 4x4.

zoodragon

has anyone here done one of these before?

i get a pretty solid discount with mcmaster through work so all in i could probably get it done for around $80 and some time on the lathe.

looking for around 2" total.

zoodragon

well it appears most of my issues came from a lazy tech.

got under it to see if the bushings were seized and they were. i couldnt even turn the bolt with a 4 foot breaker bar and a 2 foot cheater!

cut them off and replaced the lower control arm on both sides. yay! i can adjust toe!

protip: if ...

2007 PATHFINDER 4WD

oh man this is starting to drive me nuts.

random clunk/squeak from the front end. usually when turning or going over a bump

Things ive done:

first, replaced sway bar endlinks. they were worn out anyways. no change in noise.

next, i naturally assumed it was the sway bar ...

zoodragon

so on my 07 SE ive been fighting suspension issues for like 3 years now. im tired of it and need some advice.

here's my stages of progress:

car first quickly wore out a set of tires, (30-40k miles on a 60k mile tire) figured it was time to do some suspension work. replaced shocks and struts with ...

zoodragon

Now im wondering if I should bother switching them or not.

Im definitely getting some strange suspension behavior and it's driving me nuts.

Gonna install some new LCAs which will kill a few birds at the same time (ball joint, bushing, cam kits) and replace the sway bar bushings and see what ...

2007 R51 4X4 165k miles stockish

So about a year ago I installed some new Bilsteins then very shortly after got into a wreck and was without the vehicle for almost 2 months so I never really got to notice how the vehicle handled with the new suspension setup.

when i got the vehicle back it ...

zoodragon

so i replaced all the shocks with bilsteins and installed some bags in the rear coils. Im now experiencing some pretty bad bumpsteer even after an alignment.

any tips on where to start?

oh and while i was at it, i replaced the tires with some cooper at3s and am noticing some very SLIGHT inside ...

zoodragon

Thanks for the tips guys, yah the maxima was quite annoying to change plugs so when I did I went with iridiums, found out then that the source of my oil consumption issues was a broken valve cover on the rear bank.....which dumped oil into the spark plug hole I'm honestly shocked it ran without a ...

zoodragon
