That was a great video because you showed a bunch of different jobs even though you said you were doing only one. Additionally I really absolutely love that you torque everything and you meticulously show which nut/bolt you are torquing to spec. Tackling front strut and bearing tomorrow morning!
Great job! Like how you took all the parts for the lower control arm apart with that axel. I'll do that to release my springs with struts, my top nut come loose and the spring has a tension but will use a floor jack so it doesn't spring out.
Unlike this example my 2015 is rust free but the cam bolts were frozen hard!!!! Had to take to a shop as i didn't have the saw and they even charged extra to replace them for that. Consider that before doing
Hi. I am swapping out my lower control arms on my 2012 Nissan Frontier. I purchased some camber bolts and I have a question about them. To provide proper support, shouldn't the length of the camber bolt shanks be the same length as the control arm bushings or even slightly longer? I'm thinking that the shank would better support the bushings along their full length than the threaded portion of the bolts do. Thanks for your videos.
Hi, should the cotter pins go through the nut castellated nuts also. looks like they could do with a washer or 2. probably better off with nylock nuts.
Do you have to remove the entire strut? Or can you just take off the bottom bolt? Also, can you leave the half shaft in place once you’ve disconnected from the wheel bearing?

No lie, the hardest part of this entire job is getting the electrical connector unplugged that he shows 1:00 into the video. Took me 45 mins.
Most detailed how to on xterra. Thanks for schooling us DIYers
Finally a video where the vehicle is as rusted as mine.

He still did this in 21 minutes wow, it took me all day to do one side
Thank you for this video, I found it really difficult to unplug the brake sensor wire. Was a big help cheers 👍

Awesome video; Do you have by any chance the part number for that bolt you had to cut ? Thanks @TRQ
Great video quality. You made that look easy. Thanks!

The new parts were already rusty before he even finished the job😂
I'm going to try and not take the disc & cv axel off. I'll update if it was easy or not.

I think the torque specs for the lower cam bolts might be a little high. I'm finding 101 ft lbs stated other places.

You don't have to remove the entire strut - You can leave it bolted at the top!

Nice
👍👍👏👏👏
This is not one to follow. Way too many unnecessary extra steps
