Thanks for the input. Good to know that rust will stop progressing in AZ if I clean it up a bit.

I have already done the tire balance and rotate dance a couple of times but it has not helped.

I really hope Nissan takes care of my tomorrow so I can continue to be a loyal Nissan customer. I think I need new bushings, drive shaft, U-joint and maybe tie-rods\control arm.

Once I get her dialed in I look forward to hitting a few trails with you all.

Has anyone dealt with Unique4x4 in Gilbert? When I was in looking for suspension advise they told me that instead of buying skids etc. from the usual vendors that they will fab whatever I want for less than Shrockworks. Any advise on this? I only want skids and front bumper.

Oh; has anyone replaced thier 16 inch wheels with 15s so the the TA KOs cost less. The 16s seems to be about $50 more per tire and I would rather put that $50 ea. towards some AR wheels. bad idea?
