#463 of 512 Front wheel shimmy by daddy3 Sep 01, 2005 (6:11 pm)
I have a 04 PF SE, 2 wheel drive and since I have owned it I have had a slight steering wheel tremor or slight shimmy at highway speeds. 60 to 70 MPH. At 80 it smooths out. I have had several wheel balances and even another set of tires were put on and still have it. The steering seems to be very road sensitive. Car only has 8000 miles. I was also told by a tire place that my rims were very hard to balance????? I was also tod that Pathfinders are hard to balance. Could anyone shed some light on this matter?

Replying to: daddy3 (Sep 01, 2005 6:11 pm) What you are being told is true. It appears a Hunter 9700 "road force balancer" is the only solution to getting a proper balance on this vehicle. Search back through 2001 (when this design first came out) and you'll see a lot of posts on this.   Cause? The wheels are quite heavy, that may be part of it. According to at least one poster in "tires, tires, tires" on this board, it may also partially be caused by the design of the suspension. One poster indicates that the industry doesn't fully understand what influences this problem.   Find a local shop with the Hunter 9700 (who know how to use it) on the Hunter web site and get them to balance your wheels. That has fixed the problem for most who have it.

Replying to: timing2 (Aug 14, 2005 12:26 am) I towed 4000 lb trailer when I moved, it handled very well. I have a hidden hitch installed. Do you know where the drivers side gommet is under the vehicle that the harness wire is supposed to come out of? I have tried to find it and cant figure it out, I was able to install the passenger side.

Replying to: brickyfw (Feb 11, 2005 2:45 pm) Have you found your cupholder insert? I had a 2001 and traded it in, but forgot to re-insert the cupholder because I never used it. I too had a beige interior, but the insert is black. If you want it, it's yours. Just let me know where to send it. Replies to this message: guthro49 (Nov 08, 2005 5:38 pm)

Replying to: akhil (Jun 04, 2005 12:44 pm) I have Toyo Open Country A/T tires on my 97 Pathfinder SE and have been real happy with them. I have 64,000 miles on them and will be replacing them any day. I am tempted to go with the Goodyear Fortera HL as it was top rated by Consumer Reports but I have seen stories on the internet about people having a hard time keeping them balanced. The Dunlop Radial Rover AT is also rated better than the Open Country and is much cheaper in the Seattle area. The other tire I am considering is the Uniroyal Laredo Cross Country. It is hard to argue with getting 64 K miles on a set of tires though. If anyone has experience with the tires mentioned I would love to hear your opinion.   Thanks Replies to this message: shark715 (Sep 15, 2005 5:32 am)

#470 of 512 Re: Front receiver hitch for 2001 Pathfinder?? [bigjohn] by obxbeachpathy Sep 16, 2005 (12:03 pm)
Replying to: bigjohn (Mar 18, 2004 11:41 am) Hey bigjohn, I have a 2000 Pathfinder LE with 3" sus. lift and I installed a Rod Rack last winter. I see that your in Albemarle. I live up in Norfolk, Va but have a house in Kitty Hawk. I went to T.W.s Bait and Tackle in KH to buy the rack. They sell a front hitch that they say is universal, but I did'nt see how it would fit on the front end. So I went to Home Depot and bought a 4 foot section L-shaped steel with holes throughout it and multiple METRIC nuts and bolts. I used a hacksaw to cut the steel and made brackets. I took the front plate off and attached the brackets to the licesnse plate mounts. Then I took a longer peice of steel with the tall side sawed off, so it was flat with a 90 degree bend at the end, and bolted it inbetween the verticle center bar and the vehicle frame. After tightening the bolt, I was done. It is very sturdy, it doesnt even shake traveling down NC12 or Wright Memorial Bridge during our nasty Nor'easters. Hope this helps, once I finally fiqured out what to do, it was easy. See ya on the OBX Sometime!
