I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder. It sway from side to side while I'm driving. It doesn't have to be fast or slow. First, I changed the front shock absorber. Not much improvement, then the ball joint. It improved about halfway. But now after about a month, it's even worse. I did some research in the internet and surprise, I'm not the only one having this problem. It looks like a lot of Pathfinder owners have the same issue. I know my car is old but quite a few have the same issue before they hit 100k miles. I think this is a design problem or parts problem and should be recall. So far, I didn't see any death or accident reported because of this but I'm sure it's bound to happen. It's dangerous driving this thing around with the swaying specially in high speed.
