| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1996 pathfinder, 120k miles. approx. one year ago vehicle developed scary side-to-side rocking at highway speeds, and especially when driving on curved roads. replaced rear shocks- no help. i have found lots of other pathfinder owners that have this same exact condition. turns out the problem is with the rear control arm bushings and rear link arm bushings. bushings develop dry rot with age and shrink, making excessive play in the control arms. many people have complained to nissan, but nissan refuses to even consider a recall. *tr |
