I have a 95 Pathfinder....spent a crapload of money on it over the years, so were keeping it, which Im ok with because other than the lack of cabin space we love it.
New motor, exhaust manifold, pumps and radiator....now were married.

Anyway the rear trailing arms might be giving me trouble, they aren't loose as far as I can tell pulling on em. I dont see any visible wear such as my front sway bar which is visibly missing bushings, which I ordered Poly Urethane and will have soon.

My Pathy will suddenly swerve or feel as if it is driving slightly diagonal down the freeway. I think its the trailing arm bushings, as far as I can tell form the forum here. Problem is I cant find trailing bars anywhere. I would prefer more heavy duty aftermarket for longevity, but nobody makes jack for this year of Pathfinder... :wtf2: for whatever reason its hard to find anything aftermarket. Also looking for

New front bumper and brush guard, new back bumper, running boards...the side pipe version. I want modern bumpers but it looks as if I have to pay for fabricating to fit it on a Pathy. We intend to give this thing a new life......any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Or if anybody knows a place that will fabricate this stuff for me , such as the trailing arms with bushings....that would be great.

I would be too sure if they are the trailing arm bushings. I would wait for those sway bar bushings before moving forward. On another note -- i just replaced all mine today (upper and lower) and my car feels like new. I had the death sway/wobble and what a difference.

Good idea, and it works for me because the bushings for the rear look like a PITA. Im not sure I could even get them back in.

you replaced the entire arms? or just the bushings?

i'm off into death-sway fix now too, as I'm experiencing the slight nudge/sway/swerve; nonetheless, I'm open to options so if there is a reliable source for trailing arms, I'd like to know too :)
