Bearings repack solved the problem? Not so much.
Pick up the Pathfinder yesterday and discovered that the boogie-oogie dancing motion is still in full effect. Unfortunately the repair shop was closed when I got the vehicle so I couldn’t tell them they were wrong in their diagnosis. Looks like that was a wasted expense on my end. Not to say the bearings didn’t need to be repacked as I have no real idea, but it’s certainly not something I would have just done on a whim.
On a positive note, the A/C is working! Best guess is the same fuse that was screwing up the speedometer / odometer also had something to do with the air. Weird that it didn’t blow cold when I gave it a short drive earlier in the week. In any case, I have cold air now so I won’t look this gift horse in the mouth.
Next up on my list is to get the Pathfinder to my local repair shop and have them figure out what’s wrong with the Pathfinders dance moves. Best guess at this point is that it’s something with the rear suspension. I hope it’s an inexpensive fix because I still need to put tires on this thing, and those are looking to be over $125 each, and it really needs all four.
I was going to take it to be looked at today, but being the day before a holiday I decided that I’d skip it. I figure there’s virtually no chance of it getting done today, and wouldn’t really want the guy working on it today anyway since he’s probably thinking more about what his plans are for the weekend that what he’s working on.
