I've deduced from researching on line that the rattling noise coming from underneath my 03 X is the heat shields. How important are these things? Can I ignore...
On my 2002, the rattle was rings of steel that capped off the braided stainless steel expansion joints. They would dance around on the pipes and rattle at...
Hi there, I have a 2002 and have the same problem, the rattling of the heat shields. Combine that with the turning "cracking" xterras get when turning sharp...

I've been dealing with the same issue for over a year now on my '03 X. My local Nissan dealership says the heat shields that are causing the rattle on my X...
A $1,000 sounds way to much if there are no exhaust leaks. Did you look under the truck yourself. It may be those end caps that rusted off the braided steel...
I just went thru this with my 01 X. I was told not to worry about them unless you drive thru a ton of brush and do serious offroading. My neighbor cut them...
So I creamed the passenger side step today. Pushed it all the way back into the rear tire. My first thought was to just take both the steps off and be done...

I have the same problem in my 1997 Pathfinder (same keyfob as the 2000 Xterra). I programmed the keyfob to my Pathfinder using the instructions that you can...
Hi all, Maybe someone can suggest a solution to my problem... I have an 01' Xterra with a little over 100K mileage and when I first start it up cold, it idles...

Hi Gary, We used to have an '01 with a 5-Speed and it was a good wagon...not a day's trouble out of it. We drove it 80K miles and traded down for a Subaru...

Sure, if you take the head rests off, & remove the seat cushions. :( Call me lazy, but I think that's just poor design. I believe the 2005 and up models can...
