Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / May 2004Older Pathfinders! Deteriorating Spare Tire Lift Chain
Check the condition of the chain/lift device that secures the spare tire especially if you haven't used the spare in a while. The chain in my '98 has deteriorated to a point where I really think it needs replacing. A couple of the links are about half the thickness of the original. I emailed Nissan a brief report but somehow I can't see them getting too excited about it. Anyway, it's out there. Beware and don't get too close when following older models. Pathfinders that is! >Check the condition of the chain/lift device that secures the spare tire >especially if you haven't used the spare in a while.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH You've got some f.cking nerve slamming other auto manufacturers. Everyone, have some respect when sending out responses to a newsgroup. Rude language is not tolerated and has no purpose in this forum. If someone does not like a persons response and wish to give them a inspiring speech, reply to them directly if you have something inspiring to say. I do like to read this news group for information and information only. I don't care if some of the subscribers don't get along. I read all of the responses and use my own judgment if the procedure is right or wrong. >>Check the condition of the chain/lift device that secures the spare tire >>especially if you haven't used the spare in a while.

ROFL!! How long have you been on Usenet? If someone tells you off, what are you going to do? Don't bother "reporting" them ISPs don't care these days I know that for a fact, especially Comcrap. They are all too busy with spam problems. > someone does not like a persons response and wish to give them a > inspiring speech, reply to them directly if you have something inspiring > to say. > I do like to read this news group for information and information only. > I don't care if some of the subscribers don't get along.

No problem like that on my 92PF, where the spare tire is bolted to the tire carrier. ;-) Maybe you should have bought an SE model, or moved to the other side of the country - out here we don't use much salt on the roads in the 'winter' :-) SignatureDave Patton Canadian Coordinator, Degree Confluence Project http://www.confluence.org/ My website: http://members.shaw.ca/davepatton/ > Check the condition of the chain/lift device that secures the spare tire > especially if you haven't used the spare in a while.
