This video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2012-2018 Nissan Altima. Control arms are a crucial part of the suspension system of your vehicle. They not only carry the load of the vehicle to the wheel, but they typically also maintain its alignment. Control arms are typically large and strong, so you may be surprised it needs replacing. They contain rubber bushings for smoother rides at the cost of eventual wear, or integrated ball joints that require replacing the entire arm when they wear.
This repair was done on a 2016 Nissan Altima Base 2.5L Sedan 4-Door FWD Automatic and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2012 Nissan Altima
2013 Nissan Altima
2014 Nissan Altima
2015 Nissan Altima
2016 Nissan Altima
2017 Nissan Altima
2018 Nissan Altima
