God bless, peace and love be upon you, your family and your friends Mr. Ranger.
Can you do a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder SL 2 WD/ 4 WD on how to replace break pads, rotors, ABS sensors front/rear, spark plugs, water pump, timing belt, TPM, and power steering belt?

can you show more of that Odyssey on your page ? tesla wheels, lowered, headlight retrofit.. more pics and details?

[@stevef8993]

Thanks for the straightforward video. Why did you need to change the control arms, rust, bent? Also, how did you determine what the ride height should be to torque the castle nut? Did you measure it before you lifted the car?

[@MrRangerZr1]

The bushings were torn on this car.
Jack up the control arm until that side of the car barely lifts off the jack stand.

What’s the jack method you used here? Is the suspension under load or just hanging? I know you jacked up the arm to ride height to torque the ball joint bolt, but did you have the jack there when installing and torquing the other bolts as well? Thanks I’m advance, I have an 07 CRV as well and your videos are super helpful.

[@MrRangerZr1]

For suspension bolts, you want to tighten the bolts in the position the car will be on the ground, so you have to jack it up till it just comes off the jack stand.

@@MrRangerZr1I had another question. I noticed you used moog control arms. I was going to replace my tie rod ends with moog as well. The ends came with a couple regular looking washers included, do you have any clue where the washers are supposed to get installed. Mine in an 07 made in Japan. No washers on the current OE tie rod ends.
