Suspension Modification for Raised Setup Installation

Model: Nissan Pathfinder MK 1, Wd21 - Years 1986-1995
Part: Suspension system

Lift the vehicle on a lift or suitable car stands and remove the front wheels. Proceed by removing the upper nut of the shock absorber, pulling out the rubber with the washer; then remove the lower fixing pin and extract the shock absorber from its seat. Slightly lift the hub with a jack and remove the upper control arm (the triangular-shaped one) and replace it with the modified one, tightening the respective fixing pins adequately. Complete the installation by refitting the shock absorber (check its correct operation first and replace it with a new one if necessary).
