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 video shows you how to install a new quality TRQ lower control arm with ball joint in your 2003-2007 Nissan Murano.

Any idea where I can get a replacement pinch bolt? I can't find a part number anywhere. My bolt head is stripped. I have an entirely new knuckle coming in today there is so much corrosion everything is seized up in multiple spots on this 16 year old car in Buffalo.

Not an easy job to complete without a lift. One thing I did differently to get the ball joint shaft free was to take a 13" pipe and place it on top of the control arm near the ball joint and then use a hammer to drive it down. It came free really easy that way. Putting it back together was a little tricky too. The bushing would not fit back into the socket because the socket was crushed smaller by the previous bolt compression so I took a bigger pipe and hammered it into the socket and then swung it rearward which opened it up just enough to be able to (with some persuasion) get the bushing to go in. Lastly, when it was time to install the ball joint shaft back into it's socket there was a big alignment issue. There was about a 2 inch space between the shaft and the hole. I ended up taking a wood 4 x 4 and used it like a battering ram to push the spindle back toward the shaft until they lined up enough to fit. Once that was all done - it was a breeze! ha If you can find a lift to use for this job, you'd be smart to use it.

I like how he doesn’t trust the torque wrench sound.
