Well, time has come to change to poly bushes and upgrade the struts so that the truck doesn't shake and wobble so much.Anyone tried and/or got these fitted to their 2001 and up Pathy?If so, do they make a big difference to handling, road-holding, comfort, etc.Any good and/or bad points/opinions wanted!Thanks

i got them and they are fine.... the original Nissan struts are KYB (but not GR2) so it will handle like a new pathfinder, nice and smooth

Cheers fueler!Did it get rid of any "skipping" over ruts that you feel through the steering as well?I'm thinking of changing all the bushes over to poly ones at the same time, so mabe that would be worth doing first?

Ah I just noticed that you are in Ciudad de México! Cheers! I know the roads in Mexico (i'm a Baja lover) and i'd say 5 or 6 years (100-150 thousand km) is about right to change the struts on your 2001 Pathfinder, they are probably worn and bouncy by now. It will hold the road more smoothly when faced with ruts, bumps, and large potholes. Basically more comfort and safety for you! I'd recommend the KYB GR2 for you.

I'm settled on the KYB GR2 -- I've seen their products from my years as a 240sx dude, and of course, KYB is the OEM for Nissan.

I wish I lived in Mexico or near it like you guys do. . man, it'd be great to have trails to drive on. Tough to find anything here, as all of the land is owned farm land or parks.

I actually love Utah. I could do that and be very happy. Sucks living here. . ALL land is accounted for, so going off road is usually illegal.

Hafta be creative. . .
