This video contains a walkthrough and DIY guide for anyone that must replace any of the following components on their 20002004 Nissan Xterra or Nissan Pathfinder SUV or pickup truck. Detailed removal and replacement of Upper Control Arm, Shock Strut, 4x4 Hub Assembly, Brake Caliper, and CV Axle are all contained in this lengthy tutorial. You will see me struggle with unknowns as I work my way through this procedure as anyone else would. I answer many questions and give nuggets of valuable information to people attempting large jobs like this in their driveway, all while using mainly common hand tools and while working on a limited budget. I use junk yards to acquire some items. Hope you enjoy my first video, even though it hasn't been produced with a big budget. The videos to follow will have more "bells and whistles," but will always be directed at the driveway mechanic! Thank you for watching, and please leave feedback.
