Hi everyone,

I previously had a 96 pathfinder le edition. Great vehicle, only need regular tune up and change the brushings. (Would sway from side to side) Since it was such a great vehicle, why not just get a new modeler w/ low mileage.

I just brought 01 pathfinder le edition w/ 65k. The vehicle is great, better engine, quiet and comfortable. Everything is works flawlessly.

One problem I notice, the vehicle tend to pull to the left, I put some air in the tired.

I was wondering if there is any major problem. I will take it to get align this weekend.

FYI: both inner and outer tie rod, struts and low arm are fine.

It's probably from alignment or tire wear. If it has been out of alignment long enough, the uneven tire wear will make it more pronounced.

It's also possible that one of the tires has something wrong like a broken belt. That's fairly rare, but possible. Most likely, it just needs an alignment.

i got an alignment on Saturday and the vehicle is drive fine.

as i was getting the alignment, i notice the struts are going.

i will install the struts and shocks before winter.

i was recommended the get kyb. from my previous understand, they give a rougher ride. i was wonder what would be the best struts are a soft ride.

maybe i'll just get the struts from a dealer.
