Hello:

I have a 2000 Pathfinder 2WD 3.3motor with at least 90K miles. Almost 1 1/2 years ago a rattling noise started coming out of the fron t end of the vehicle. My mechanic suggested to replace the link bars of both left and right sides which i did and the noise was gone. No more than 5 months later the same noise came again and yet again the link bars were replaced and the noise was gone. After at least 6 mohts after the second link changed the noise came back this time only from the right side. That time i only replaced the right link with a Original Nissan Link instead of a replacement brand, the noise was gone. Now the noise is back again, this time from the left side, and yes it is the same noise. I dont know what to do becasue if something else i dont know is wrong i'll be replacing links all my life. I was wondering if you can assist me with my concern.

Thanks
Braulio

That sounds like very unnatural wear. Have you had the alignment checked after replacement? They might find an issue with the ball joints.
