I did this job a few weeks ago. Was a nightmare on driver side with the bolt coming out toward the shaft. Rust didnt help. Think I may have caused a leak in the main seal of the rack from pounding it off the rack shaft. FYI be careful of that.

Instead of using chassis grease, use a Permatex Ant-seize on the bolt body and threads. It too will lubricates and prevent corrosion. There are 2 different kinds one is silver and the other is copper. I prefer the copper cause it's easier to see amongst the road grime and dirt. My2¢

Currently doing the same as part of the ICON 2.5 inch lift on my 2012 Titan. When removing the driver's side UCA rear bolt I managed to get a small leak in one of the brake tubes like you. You mentioned noticing a brake tube leak as well and I was wondering if you are doing a video on changing that out or if you have changed yours and any advice. I ordered 46220-7S210 tube assembly with all of the hard lines as mine are all corroded (thanks to living in the rust belt) to change all at once. Thanks! You videos are great and helpful.
@kriscarman6428 Жыл бұрын
Great video. But, on the driver side, if you unbolt the brake lines they will move far enough to get a breaker bar on that bolt. Saves time :) I suppose if yours is all rusted up and need more torque, it might be dangerous to the lines if you slip. Im in AZ, we dont have rust issues.

If the replacement part is the exact same as the original, you should not have to get an alignment. If you're going after market and the dimensions change, then yes you need to get it realigned.

Its more about the ball joint not the arm itself. A bad ball joint will give you clunking, rattling, knocking, and uneven wear on your tires.

Okay Guess what when you look at this. You have cut out the part where I am needing an extra hand. Driver side: left bolt and nut Ball joint nut and cotter pin No problem. Steering shaft bolt nut spins. I didn't see that it had flat piece to lock pliers on it. Wait few days. Got it problem solved. Now that right side bolt and nut. Haha It is facing inward. Not on the outside of the control arm. Your video cuts out. So now I am praying and prying the lower steering column out of the way of the bolt to get it out. And I pray that this works. Because I still gotta do the passenger side. 😭🤣
@Rythecarguy2 жыл бұрын
well passenger side will be easy. No steering. The driver side you can disconnect that steering link if you need to get it out of the way. If you check out my xterra UCA video, I go through that process. On the Titan I just didn't need to do it. I just moved the UCA around and the bolt came out. Nothing to show.
