Please refer to technical service bulletin (ntb98-001) when rounding a curve or going over a dip in the road, at 40 miles per hour the car starting wobbling and swaying and you think it is going to flip over. It is very scary. The wobble is not induced by the steering wheel, it just happens. There is no real warning. I believe it is the rear link arm bushings. There are numerous stories from others pertaining to this same problem on the web site (topix.net) search pathfinder problems. This problem has been a must fix for many and it is very scary and could be very very dangerous if it happened at higher speeds. It would definately cause an accident and/or crash.
