Have you checked the Idler arm? I know on my old s-10 blazer, it would sway and you could move the steering wheel left and right with no effect on steering until i put an idler arm on it and that fixxed it all.. So maybe in your situation this would be something to checK?sparky wrote:dww-
In your case, replacing the rear control arm bushings will probably solve the problem. It did for me, at least the first time. This time, it did nothing. As you mentioned, I replaced nearly every bushing (save front lower control arm bushings which are relatively new anyway), and still have the problem.
I think my next step is to try tighten the steering by adjusting the steering rack nut. Beyond that, I'm at a loss.
If you got the wobble...the lowers fix it most every time. I got one set of bushings and the bolts from AC...still have the second set of bolts ...so will do the uppers at some point. I ended up using a press that I got at Harbor Freight for like $120. There's many threads on how to do this job over on npora and nissanforums.com. good luck!skifiddle wrote:I have 4x4parts.com bushings and bolts. $100 for lower arms. Bolts were in a set for 4 arms, so I got the bushings. If the lowers do it, I might save the other set and do someone else's for $. I am going to drill some holes through the old bushings, experiment a little with a sawzall, etc, and then burn the old out at night if I need to. I went to Fastenal and ordered a 9/16 x 6? fine thread grade 8 bolt and nut to draw in the new bushings. Cost about $6 if I remember right.
