Check the front sway bar and sway bar end links. I suspect one of the sway bar end links is broken. Auto parts stores carry the replacement link kits and are easy to replace.
try getting your CV Joint replaced.
I was quoted $900+ on the front struts for my '99 pathfinder. On ebay they said they found some for $200 less, but that's still $700+ just for front struts.
Take it to a mechanic yo!
I think it is the struts that are the problem, at least is the problem on mine It sounds like they did not reconnect the struts .. or did not reconnect properly.
There is a recall on this vehicle for strut tower rot
The front suspension housing and struts on a 1996 Pathfinder are severely corroded.
Struts are not adjustable, and must be replaced if faulty,
were the struts put together right? squeek- possible control arm bushings clunk- spring pads "struts", control arm bushings, swaybar links or sway bar bushings, loose steering parts depending at what speed
THE REAR STRUTS HAVE NYLON BUSHINGS WHERE THEY MOUNT TO THE FRAME, AFTER A FEW YEARS THE NYLON HOLES WHERE THE BOLT GOES THROUGH GET WORN OUT AND THE STRUTS START SLAPPING UPK AND DOWN WHEN HITTING ROUGH ROADS. MINE WERE DOING THE SAME THING, I REPLACED THE STRUTS AND THAT TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. struts mine did the same thing Answer I had this problem on my '98, I replaced the struts but that did not take care of the problem, what it ended up being was the rear sway bar mounts had been worn and loosened enough to create this problem.
You can lubricate struts but it is not necessary. It won't stop them from needing to be replaced for wear and tear.
I think i can help; where are you from?
