How to Remove and Install a Lower Control Arm in the Front Suspension of the Nissan 350Z?

Drivers need to start maintenance on 350Z models and both the 2006 G35 Sedan models and 2007 G35 Coupe models by relaxing wheel lug nuts followed by elevating the front of the vehicle then placing jackstands under the frame rails to support it before wheel removal. You need to take away lower engine splash shields if needed before cutting off the stabilizer bar link from the control arm. The suspension reinforcement brace on Coupe models should be removed through the process of disconnecting eight bolts from eight mounting nuts and a single wing-like shaped unit comprising tubes and plates formed into a single unit. Begin by taking out the shock absorber lower mounting fasteners followed by balljoint stud nut loosening without nut removal before disconnecting the balljoint from the steering knuckle through balljoint removal tool application. You must remove the balljoint tool and balljoint stud nut before taking out the mounting fasteners which secure the control arm to the front suspension crossmember and finally removing the control arm. A control arm replacement becomes necessary when the balljoint shows loose or excessive play during this inspection. Spend a moment to examine the rubber bushings because damaged or worn bushings will demand substitution of the control arms. After the steering lock stud transfer (if required), the balljoint should get a new cotter pin and installation must conclude by tightening the balljoint nut. The technicians must first fully tighten all fasteners according to their specifications after they lift the lower control arm with a floor jack to match normal ride height. After installing the wheel and lug nuts you should drop the vehicle and apply the correct torque to the nuts before having the front end alignment inspected.

How to Remove and Install an Upper Control Arm in the Front Suspension of the Nissan 350Z?

Remove the upper fasteners for the shock absorber and untighten the lug nuts. Lift the vehicle and support it firmly on jackstands. Remove the wheel, disconnect the balljoint from the steering knuckle, and move the shock absorber outward. Remove the control arm mounting bolts and check the balljoint and rubber bushings. Use a new cotter pin, tighten all fasteners to the torque values, and raise the lower control arm with a floor jack. Install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts, and have the front-end alignment checked and adjusted.

Nissan 350Z Control Arm

Unlike the typical frame application, the Control Arm in Nissan 350Z model is a structural part that links the frame to the wheels while supporting other suspension items such as shocks or springs. These arms in turn revolve at the flip side of the road in a bid to enable the wheels to perform the up and down. Former models were usually constructed of stamped steel, whereas the modern versions can have cast iron or aluminum arms. The control arms are strong but they may need some degree of maintenance because the bushing and ball joint rubbers wear out. Regular control arms can also be used but to address high power and spirited use, OEM performance control arms are recommended. Also, the control arm bushings and bolts and hardware are provided to upgrade the car's response to turn and adjustments.

If you need any OEM Nissan 350Z Control Arm, feel free to choose them out of our huge selection of genuine Nissan 350Z Control Arm. All our parts are offered at unbeatable prices and are supported by the manufacturer's warranty. In addition, we offer quick shipping to have your parts delivered to your door step in a matter of days.
