I’ve looked for these used on many junkyard hardbodies and they’re all either missing or torn. I don’t think Nissan used a very durable material for them. I think it’d be better to cut out your own...

Yes, it was enlarged to 16mm threads over the stock 14mm threads by someone before I bought it. But to fit the new 16mm bolt, they also had to drill out the shaft hole 16mm well.

Upper Control Arm Bushing Replacement

For anyone that wants to replace them:
I’ve read ways to do it are with a shop press, or drilling holes in the bushings to weaken them and then pull them out. I recently replaced mine and found a...

4x4 CV shaft needle bearing removal.

Has anyone found a good tool or method for getting the needle bearings out from the inside of the knuckles on the 4x4s? They don’t have a lip or edge to drive it out with a punch like normal...

Yes, I meant access to power with higher rpms with the lower gearing, not that the engine itself makes more power.

I suspected that as well. Since Nissan had no V6 option those years, they lowered the gearing to make up for that with the I4.

Factory Gear ratio change: 1996-1997

Anyone know why Nissan switched from 4.37 diff ratios to 4.63 on the 4x4 2.4L but only for the 1996 and 1997 model years?
