Further to Post 32194 - 05 Navara front end

Evening all

Further to Post 32194

Yep! I’m back with part 2 of the 05 Nissan Navara front tyre scrub out at 25,000kms due to – according to Nissan Head Office – weight in rear causing front end to lift and throwing the alignment out.

Firstly though I would like to thank all of you that responded to Part 1

I saw the gentleman in question on Monday ( only ever see him at best once a week) and queried him as to what had happened since I last spoke to him.

He stated that the tyre place (Donellans for those of you who want to gob off) had re aligned the wheels in an effort to correct the scrubbing effect on the tyres.

Once Nissan Head Office was appraised of this they apparently didn’t want anything more to do with it, as it had been ‘changed from point of sale by a third party’ and their dealer now couldn’t assess what if anything was wrong.

Now before you say it was OVERLOADED, Donellans didn’t think so and the load was swapped from his Mazda Bravo to the Navara on sale day with no obvious overload effect.

So does anyone have any thoughts why this is so.

I noticed that someone mentioned ride height corrected/levelled by different torsion bars etc etc on one of their vehicles that was doing something similar.

Whatever, it seems as though he is going to have a battle with Nissan over it and I get the gist he is just going to sell it and let someone else solve it.
