Pathfinder Steering Problem

[Giancarlo93]

My pathfinder is a 93 and I haved changed the center link and tie rods and I have a rancho 5000 steering damper.

Why when you have the 4wheel drive engaged and you are driving in a bad terrain, if you look the car from the front coming to you the front tires are bouncing from left to right when you are in straigh line and some times the look like they are pointing in.

Does the aftermarket centerlink (lpperformance) as example fix this problem?
What else I have to change?

aftermarker steering will help, but not eliminate this. it's just what the wheels do when you wheel it. it really isn't anything to worry about, it just looks a little scary, like the wheels are going to fall of.

If they look like they are pointed towards each other (toe-in) that may be a sign of a bad centerlink. I killed a brand new one in less than 2 weeks of wheeling a couple years ago, then decided to upgrade to SLR steering.

If they look like they are moving in and out and the camber changes as they bounce, that's just the normal design of an IFS front end. As the wheels move through an arc up and down they also move in and out from the frame by as much as 40-50mm. When it's happening at speed it looks like the front end is falling apart, but it's normal.
