How to remove and install lower control arms on Nissan Pathfinder?

First, loosen the wheel lug nuts on all wheels; pick up your car with jackstands, then set it under the subframe rails to hold it firmly. Remove the wheel. Just remove the nuts between the balljoint and lower control arm, and you can then take off the balljoint as three bolts come out. To separate the control arm and subframe, you first remove two bolts: the pivot bolt nut and the rear bushing bracket bolts. Then you disconnect the balljoint from the control arm assembly. Pop the front pivot bolt nut from the lower arm and take off the rear bushing bracket bolts to disconnect the control arm from the frame. You need to take off the drive axle before you can get to the balljoint when you're replacing the one between the steering knuckle and the 4WD model. Check the bushings for any signs of dryness, torn surfaces, or breaking. The forward control arm bushing needs special tools to remove and replace, while mechanics can replace the worn or damaged bushing when they take the control arm to their shop. The rear bushing can move off its position on the control arm by simply slipping it away from the pin. Installation is the reverse of removal. Change the nut and bracket bolts one step at a time, but wait until you lower and raise the vehicle at a normal ride height before tightening them to the right torques. When finished, make sure you tighten all wheel lug nuts according to the specified force value.

Nissan Pathfinder Control Arm

The Nissan Pathfinder Control Arm is the principal link between the frame of the automobile and each front wheel assembly. With the use of the Control Arm, the suspension can react efficiently to the changing contours of the road. The Control Arm is fitted with bushings on the chassis end and either bushings or a ball joint on the knuckle end. Thus, it pivots to allow the wheel to go up and down without altering the radial position. Pathfinder models employ upper and lower Control Arm designs. Typically, the lower design handles the majority of suspension loads, while the upper version assists in guiding wheel movement and maintaining alignment. Commonly made of stamped steel, cast iron, or cast aluminum, each Control Arm is made of a strong material that doesn't bend or deform due to impacts. In many cases, the wear will occur in the bushing or ball joint; however, severe rust or collision damage may necessitate complete replacement in order to maintain proper Nissan Pathfinder steering stability and ride comfort. Inspection of each Control Arm on a regular basis helps detect looseness and provides Nissan ride quality.

All our parts are offered at unbeatable prices and are supported by the manufacturer's warranty.
