| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car developed a side-to-side wobble, mostly in the rear, at speeds from about 50 to 65 mph. wobble is not induced by steering wheel; it just happens. it's worse when car has passengers in the back seat. the problem was solved by replacing the control arm bushings (or trailing arm bushings), only the lower control arm bushings. it is a simple solution to a very serious problem, and it is very common for 97 and 98 nissan pathfinders, and a lot of users replace many other parts (shock absorbers, tires, etc) that don't solve the problem and can cause a roll over accident. *tr |
