Suspension Questions

[edogg27]

Ok, so I have been spending a lot of time looking into fixing up my Pathfinder's suspension. Right now its need new rear shocks and the front struts are factory so i was going to do the lift suspension package on 4x4parts.com that has the shocks and struts. Another thing I have noticed is the car goes from side to side when on the freeway. I think this is what "death sway" is. I was wondering while its in the shop getting all the shocks and strust should i do the bushings also and if so which ones and maybe were i can find them and also whic ones will help the sway. Thank you

I say yes to everything but your budget will tell you how far you can actually go. If you can afford everything all at once then do it. I worked on my suspension over a period of a couple years starting with steering/brakes first and finally turning my attention on the bushings and the rest of the suspension. I couldn't afford everything all at once so I worked in stages. Have you jacked up the front of your truck to make a list of everything that is worn out? I'd start with a list, price everything out and find out what you can tackle yourself to save on labor costs. Rebuilding the suspension is something that can be done in a back yard but requires confident wrenching to turn out right, never cheap out on the suspension or the brakes.
