@@FixingWithPassionindeed i just done it too and your tips really help to stop the joints from spinning. The conic joint on the front left of the truck was almost impossible to remove though 😂 it even broke the extractor tool so we bought another one and crossed finger and it finally worked! on the front right i used the jack to push one through and it went out after hammering it.
Hey! Zack here from CA. I have a 2002 xterra like you only mine is 2wd. I think I am going to attempt to convert it, and your videos are very helpful, keep it up! Also, an easy upgrade project (if your X came with the wiring harness installed) is to put fog lights on the front of the car. Those inserts pop right out and its plug and play!
The drag link is the Achilles heel of the x steering system. Any lift and you'll go through one a year at least. My guy rebuilds mine. Also, my mechanic has a very easy adjustment on the steering box that helped reduce the slack even more.
Keep these vids coming, I'm restoring an 02 myself, heading out to replace center link today, thanks to this video 👍👍
Nice!!
Big thanks to the tip to stop the joint from moving when tightening the nuts! I was anxious about this 😂
Nice!!

I believe it’s called the “Cotter Pin”, Sir , thankyou for this video. needed it!!
Why wouldn’t you replace the tie rods while you were there? I’m not criticizing, I’m just learning how to replace my tie rods and saw this video.
Looks like I have a project now!! Thank you for the video
If the tie rod falls out and the nut hasn't come all the way off yet you can use a C-clamp to squeeze it back into place.
Thank you for the video. It was a great help in changing the center link and idler arm on my Xterra.
Great!!

On my own experience , some times I use the grinder and just cut the old parts .
Nice!
Did it really solve your play.
10-4!
Can't replace that joint? You need to replace the whole bar?
Depends.
The drag link is the Achilles heel of the x steering system. Any lift and you'll go through one a year at least. My guy rebuilds mine.
Also, my mechanic has a very easy adjustment on the steering box that helped reduce the slack even more.
Yea did that yesterday!!
@@FixingWithPassion nice video, thanks for making it!
@@FixingWithPassion how?
Those shocks are SO rusted! Do they even work at all?
I have a question? All the parts of this Xterra is the same for frontier 98 4x4?
You need a bigger hammer, don't even need the pullers to remove em
Right!
What are the symptoms just can hear it or does it drive wonky?
Sloppy like a girl i use to know
Que marca es esa pieza
Theres tear on your cv boot. Does this solve the issue after couple of months installing it?
The tear has been there since I've had the xterra. Keeping a eye on it. Probably fix it next. Doesn't really effect the steering tho.
Did you had to take it to get an alignment after replacing that part?
Not Really Never noticed any difference.
Why do you have standard bolts in a Nissan?
He doesn’t lol he just was using standard sockets
I hate that you have to replace the entire center link because of bushings.
Right!!
Does this happen to 2005 Frontier? I have a sloppy steering wheel.
No, 2005 and newer xterra and frontier use a rack and pinion steering system.
Grassroots 4x4 is way better than that
