Hey all,
I have a 1999 Pathfinder with 4WD. About a year and a half ago, my friend advised me I would need to replace my rear suspension. For the last year, I have been experiencing very bad suspension performance in the rear. I bottom out on the smallest of bumps, and speed bumps are terrifying. The shocks are not leaking (although they are obviously quite old), and the rear does not bounce excessivley, it just smashes down very easily while riding. I also noticed the frame likes to wiggle if I hit a bump while going around a turn, most evidently on off-ramps. Is it just the shocks, do you think? I am in between jobs right now and am very good with my hands, so I will do the work myself.
Also, it appears that my rear suspension's load sensing proportioning valve is leaking fluid, and I have to keep filling up my brake fluid reservoir. Aside from one singular website which wants about $260 for the part, I can't find this part anywhere! Does anyone here have any idea where I can get it?
Thanks!
