The latest in performance Nissan off road parts is here.
Our frame side rear 4-link suspension brackets are for building a rear long arm triangulated 4-link suspension system on your 1995 or earlier Nissan Pathfinder. Installation on a Frontier or Xterra is also possible but requires relocating the gas tank. Accepts standard 2-5/8″ joints and 9/16″ bolts. Ships unpainted, bare steel.
