I have a 1996 Pathfinder SE that has a problem with the back end being a little "swervy" whenever I am going over 30mph and I accelerate.Any ideas???

the link bushings probably need to be replaced.

That's what I figured.Is it better to get the stock Nissan bushings or is there an aftermarket company that makes an upgrade?

I just did all 8 last week on my 96. I used the OEM bushings. If you have any question send me an email. If there's any rust keep the grinder handy.

better yet, just buy new lower links.. since it's the lwoer links that usually cause the problem. I picked them up from pinacle (linked from this site) for $63 a piece..

I'm bringing the Pathfinder down to the Valley from Kansas City.I sold it to a buddy of mine(Subdocmax from Datsunnissandrivers.com)It should be OK to drive but I got a feeling this is going to be "Mr Toads Wild Ride". smiley20 smiley20 smiley20 smiley20 smiley20
