To remove the control arm, first loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, support it securely on jackstands, and remove the wheel. For 2013 and earlier models or 2014 and later Rogue Select models, detach the stabilizer bar links from the stabilizer bar and swing the ends of the stabilizer bar upward if the rear bolt of the front pivot shaft will not clear the stabilizer bar. Next, separate the control arm balljoint from the
Steering Knuckle, then remove the control arm fasteners and take the arm out from the subframe. Inspect the front and rear bushings for any cracks or tears; if damaged or worn, the control arm must be replaced since the bushings are not replaceable. Check the control arm for straightness, and if it is bent, it should be replaced without attempting to straighten it. For installation, loosely tighten all bolts, move the suspension to its normal ride-height angle using a floor jack, and then fully tighten the bolts. The installation process is the reverse of removal, ensuring all fasteners are tightened to the specified torque values. Finally, install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the appropriate torque, and consider having the front wheel alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
