I just remembered that I used this video when doing my shocks a few months ago. Thank you for making this!
This video is very helpful to me. I will do my front shocks tomorrow.
Good video. The instructions you gave about washer/bushing/etc was a smart addition.
Yeah the same ,👌🔝🔝🔝🔝
Such a good tutorial, i feel i couldgo change both my front shocks by myself right now! Thanks.subscribed
Awesome!
Thanks for posting! Definitely helped me out. 🤙
I got some belltech performance shocks for my 93 d21. Cant wait to put them on
Nothing beats new shocks...except for new tires.
Great video! Getting ready to replace the shocks on my 96 Hardbody.
A”s you can see, I don’t fuq around” 😂 Solid video 👌🏾
Mann your video helps big time especially that I have the same year truck
Awesome video I had no idea how to change my brakes on the D 21.
Brakes? This is a shock absorber video. You ok bro?
Hey just wanted to say good job on the video. I have a 1990 D21 st.cab 4x4. I just wanted to say that the only difference is that the bottom bolt has a factory welded nut on the bracket.
Great Job Brotha, thank u so much for share it!!
Great video. Just wanted to add that on my 95 model the bottom bolt was 19mm instead of 17mm. The nut was still 17mm tho.
Yaa...I think my 90 needs some shocks now ...good vid !!! N Texas
Thanks for the video. Did you check your friends tool box for your ratcheting box end?
Thanks, Great Video! FR
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video it was very informative... Cant wait to do mine's...
Daniel Monsivais it’s been two months.. did you run into any problem doing the work yourself?
turns out the shocks we were replacing were from the ORIGINAL 1995 truck! Thanks for the tips!
This is going to be very helpful to me! Thanks!!
Dam mine is a 91 thanks for your video
Great video thanks so much man!
nice job.. thanks.. pretty standard
great video mate .and thanks
Gracias muy bueno el video bro
Just received my Belltech's today
I’m not sure but did you you upgrade the suspension kit to the 4x4 pathfinder
I upgraded the rear brakes to 4wd.
Thanks amigo
Can I install 2.5" rough country Lift shocks on a
*Regular 2WD 94parhfinder* ???
Yes but you won't benefit from them unless you have done a lift.
Compress new shock with hands on top and body weight...on flat floor. When compresst, use a strip of duct tape to hold the shock compresst. Around plastic boot to shock. Around - not up and down. It held fine and always put top in first, through bottom.
True. I use a pry bar to force the shock down after getting the lower bolt started.
@@SuperchargedPathfinder You simply turn shock upside down on a board, easily compress with body weight- use duct tape around the shock boot to shock to Hold compression. Put top in first- so, from the bottom, put the compresst shock into top bolt mount and use Jack to ease the bottom bolt in. There's more: Nissan has a small Jack, with long skinny bar. Use a cordless drill on low, to raise and lower. Put the tire you take off under the frame- if something fails: the truck tire will stop severe accident. I use glue lam header boards. 6-2"x6" glued together for fall insurance.
Depends on the shock. Kyb monomax shocks dont compress under my body weight.
very helpful. by the way what shock absorber do you use? whats the part number?
Kyb shock number kg4605a for the fronts and kg5473 on the rear.
Hey man I'm going to be coming back up to New York you got any parts you want to sell I have a 95 Nissan Hardbody let me know looking for some rims in a couple other things
I don't have anything for sale atm. I scrapped a huge load of parts recently so I am down to only rhw stuff I want to keep for current projects.
PS - mine is. 92 D21 with original shocks that need replacing! Any recommendations on shocks? Which were the ones from the green truck?
Green has KYB Monomax shocks front and rear. Red now has Green's old shocks which are KYB Gas A Just. Both are excellent shocks.
What do I do if the top of the shock wont tighten? It just keeps spinning the shock
Is the nut bottomed out?
@@SuperchargedPathfinder no it's not its basically stuck half way I cant even loosen it to take it off
That sounds stripped or crossthreaded.
Hold the upper tip of shock with needle nose or other vise grips if the shock begins to rotate while loosening / tightening the upper nut.
can't locate the vss on my 91 but can't find it any ideas?
1991 did not have vss. It is cable driven off the passenger side of the transmission rear.
@@SuperchargedPathfinder the speedo?
Yes. Vss was introduced in 93.
Thank you, truck has been having problems slipping and not going into OD. I hope this fixes it.
thanks for the help. FYI the volume so low I could barley hear you,
Sorry about that, older GoPro. I have been using my Samsung phone for the more recent vids.
did you know you can replace your shocks with pinto shocks when you drop it
Yes, that is for trucks that have been dropped way lower than I have gone.
does no d21 have the inner passenger fender splash guard 😂😂😂
Pretty much. I rip them out when they get ratty enough.
