I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF MY 1997 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE (81,000 MILES); AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT THE FRONT SHOCKS WERE SHOT; THEN A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT NO - IT WAS THE FRONT STRUTS. I HAVE SINCE FOUND A WEB SITE WITH MANY OWNERS OF THIS VINTAGE MODEL THAT TELL ME THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 8 REAR CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS - THIS IS DANGEROUS. AT VERY LEAST, THEY SHOULD NOTIFY OWNERS. *TR
WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-30 MPH SUDDENLY THERE WAS A CLUCKING NOISE. CONSUMER PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE THE NOISE. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS STICKING OUT AT AN ANGLE. ALSO, SHOCK ABSORBER SPRING WAS STICKING OUT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, WHO WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK
