This opens up a large door of opporitunity, no more refabricating all of your link mounts or reusing one end of the factory Nissan link with that old worn out bushing in an effort to get it all to\u00c2\u00a0fit together. When you build your next set of suspension links for your Nissan Pathfinder, these Currie Johnny Joints will keep you on the right track. They utlize the same\u00c2\u00a0ball as a standard 2.5&#8243; Johnny Joint but are narrower and use a chamfered Johnny Joint housing for the extra clearance needed in the narrower bracket.<\/div>\n<p>These joints are available in the Rugged Rocks Store here:<\/p>\n<p>Right Hand Thread:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/currie-narrow-12-johnny-joint-right-p-3647.html\">http:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/currie-narrow-12-johnny-joint-right-p-3647.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Left Hand Thread:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/currie-narrow-12-johnny-joint-left-p-3647.html\">http:\/\/ruggedrocksoffroad.com\/currie-narrow-12-johnny-joint-left-p-3647.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since\u00c2\u00a0the solid axle pathfinder got it&#8217;s front 3-link solid axle swap,\u00c2\u00a0an easy to install rear 5-link (4-link with panhard) long arm rear suspension system has been on my mind.
