THREE MONTHS AGO, THE DIFFERENTIAL IN MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SAID THAT BOLTS WERE MISSING FROM THE AXLE AND HE WAS VERY PERPLEXED AS TO WHY THAT WOULD BE. THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPAIRED BUT 3 MONTHS LATER THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DIDN'T WORK AND THE AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS EXTREMELY COMMON IN ALL OF THE NISSAN ARMADAS. THEY EVEN STOCKED THE FRONT AXLES BECAUSE THEY GO THROUGH SO MANY OF THEM. *TR

HAD A FLAT TIRE SO TRIED TO CHANGE MYSELF WITH FACTORY JACK KIT. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT ON FLAT ASPHALT. WE I STARTED TO LIFT THE CAR AND WHEN I GOT A LOAD ON THE JACK IT FROZE AND THE CENTER SCREW BENT AND THE CAR SHIFTED. THE AUTO CLUB HAD TO REMOVE THE JACK AS IT WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO REPLACE IT WITH A SAME TYPE JACK. THE JACK IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR CAR. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED WHILE LIFTING NOT AFTER I GOT THE WHEEL OFF. *JB
