As for the R&P on your axiom, I think the problem happens with bigger tires (33"+) ... front r&p issues.


you are probably talking about differentials, I really meant the R&P steering. The differentials are not a problem for us guys with tires less than 33". But the R&P steering on IFS SUVs... sometimes, when I am driving in a bad stuff in a place where no tow truck would reach me, I wonder why I did not get a Land Cruiser 80 (around 1995 year) when I had a chance.

Not sure about the Nissan's underpinnings but have you checked out the 94-96 SR running gear?


I did not check these particular years, but I checked two Monteros 97 and 98. I had a chance to put the rear OME coils and the torsion bars on Montero SR 1997. As for the Nissan XTerra, everything under it just look ... thicker, I'd say. Steering, frame, crossmembers, links, etc are just all "thick".

But the rear leaf springs look weird on a modern SUV.
