SUSPENSION
1996 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ENTIRE VEHICLE SWAYS WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 50+MPH, AS IF YOU ARE PLAYING WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND ROCKING THE CAR BACK AND FORTH. NISSAN ISSUED A TSB BACK IN 1998. THE # IS: NTB 98001. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND IT MAKES FOR VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS. NO ACCIDENT DUE TO CONDITION YET. HOWEVER, I FEEL IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I WOULD BE STUNNED IF NISSAN HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN SUED OVER THIS ISSUE. IF YOU GOOGLE: PATHFINDER SWAY WOBBLE, YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME CONDITION. THE REAR LINK ARMS/BUSHINGS ARE DEFECTIVE, YET THEY HAVE NEVER RECALLED. *TR
