My Pathfinder 98 had terrible 'death wobble' at high speeds and noticeable rear axle wobble at lower speeds. The lower wishbones or trailing arms had to be replaced. I was a little scared at first, but I decided to get down to business. The Dorman part is comparable to the original equipment that came with the car, including mounting points for brake lines and anti-lock brake sensors. Unless you have a powerful pneumatic wrench, don't even try to loosen the bolts. I spent a day on this before deciding to cut them out. I sprayed them with penetrating lube a week ago, and again the day before. Nothing. Apply heat and more penetrating oil. Won't give in. They laughed at my Harbor Freight electric impact wrench. After anticipating this a bit and ordering replacement bolts, I decided to cut them out. After experimenting with the first screw and the best way to cut it (saw, 4.5" grinder, hacksaw), I finally came to my 7" angle grinder, which came equipped with a metal cutting wheel. It worked quickly. About 5 minutes per screw. Just make sure you disconnect the anti-lock brakes and brake lines from the original control arm. Dorman is perfect. Have a short pry bar handy to line up the screw holes and a punch to remove the remnants of the old screws from the brackets. if you decide to cut them out. I also replaced the rear shocks with KYBs as part of the rebuild. Tested on the road, the death wobble is gone and the rear axle is stable. Satisfied for now. Now let's see if the dormans are durable. 4 stars provided they stay in place for at least 6 months. In hindsight, it's a relatively easy, if somewhat messy, task once you've done it. Be sure to wear a face shield and heavy duty gloves when using the grinder. Cut old bolts, there will be a lot of hot metal fragments flying into the bottle. Photo - 1. Some of the tools used: grinder 4.5", hacksaw, hammer drill. Never used a smaller hacksaw or grinder again after I switched to a 7" grinder. 2. View of the rear of the lower control arm. Note Note that part of the bolt is still stuck in the arm Middle finger 3. Shot of Dorman on the passenger side (note: the Revain shot has the image upside down) 4. Older parts that were replaced as part of the work: two original wishbones two rear shock absorbers.10 /Updated 2016 Dorman has been running for about a year now No problem Very happy with it.
