Please help just purchased 97 pathfinder,

Looked under both front wheels and i think its needs new cv joints (long curly iron with rubber hanging likes its falling off. Also bouncy ride in front with swaying. Did I purchase a bad vichecle or do I just need to invest a little money.

Also seems to need breaks, is this a hard and expensive job or just a matter of changing the pads?

You should be able to take it back to the place you bought it and get that repaired. If you just bought it, there should be at least a 30 day warrantee. I would definitely let them know. Any reputable dealer will have it fixed. Plus brakes are usually something tested during state inspections, so if they don't pass the dealer is responsible, because they have to make sure it passes before they sell it. If it was a private sale, you are stuck with the repair bills. Just find replacement cv boots and new brake pads. They shouldn't be that much. I hope this helps.
