Consumer Description

THE SUSPENSION ON THIS CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM RESULTED IN THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE WOBBLING VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE CAUSE WAS THE FAILURE OF RUBBER BUSHINGS ON THE REAR AXLE LINK ASSY. THIS VEHICLE IS A 4WD WITH AN "OFF ROAD" PACKAGE. EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR OFF ROAD DRIVING, THE SUSPENSION STILL FAILED AND CAUSED AN UNSAFE CONDITION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE REQUIRED PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AT NISSAN SO I SUSPECT THIS MAY BE A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MY VEHICLE. *AK
