WTF, I just spoke to David at Calmini cause I wanted to order a set of A-Arms for my '94 Pathy...and they don't make them?!?!?! smiley39 Still 4-6 weeks before they go to manufactoring.

I swore they would be the same as a HB truck...they have those...what is so diffrent about them? I don't want to order $280 of HB A-Arms just to find out they won't work.

I'm stumped on that one. I thought they would be the same too.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm sure he said they had D21, just not WD21 yet. Cause I asked, "Aren't they the same as HBs?" He said no they are a little diffrent. Oh well, I just ordered a set of AC Arms...cheaper anyways, but I was hoping to squeeze a deal out of Calmini since I ordered steering too...but can't get a deal for something they don't have.

They should be the same. Why make different ones when all other companies have same ones for Pathy and HB? Not very cost-effective.

hmmm.. well, i dont think they are right cause they arent wide enough as far as the spindle goes. they arent as wide as the stock ones. plus i dont think they are as long as the stock ones, which really doesent make much sense to me. shouldnt they be longer? to use less shims?? and the paintjob sucked hard but that doesent matter. there has been lotsa controversy about the AC arms. i am still using em, they work. but i havent heard any complaints about the superlifts. plus for like 260 or so you can get the superlift arms AND the shackles for the rear. i got the superlift shackles from Gator so i didnt wanna spend the extra 60$ for extra shackles. bla bla. no big deal. later!

You might want to call Calmini back for clarification rather than speculating.

Hah, I wonder if ac uses the same arms for pathies and hb's? That might explain some of the problems.

Anyway yes there is a difference between the stock pathy and hb a-arms, in fact the pathies have about 1 inch more travel, take that you hb punks (sorry I'm just mad you got a factory 1.5" bl over me)

Superlifts site isnt even listing the WD21, just the D21. I hate it when companies dont list all their parts on their website. Not like its a new part.

I talked to Superlift when I was trying to find a set of A-arms for my pathy. They say the Superlift arms won't work on a Pathfinder, as they would hit the shock. But somebody here (I've forgotten who) has them on their Pathy. I still think they would work, but no Superlift has never 'apped' them the WD21.

I've got the superlift arms on my pathy. Had them on for a while, <6 months. I haven't had any problems, no squeeks, and I have yet to re-grease them. They fit fine, and don't touch the shocks.

It's odd that some companies list items for a HB, but not for a pathfinder. They are the same thing from the front door forward, as long as the years are the same (steering has changed, but year by year it should be the same). Just one of those things, I guess.

edit: Somethingcool, are you sure the pathy arms are different? With mine on, the down travel is the same, and it alligns just fine. I would think that if the pathy arms are supposed to be 1" longer, allignment would be quite an issue. Hmmm...
