How to Remove and Install an Upper Control Arm in the Front Suspension of the Nissan 350Z?

Remove the upper fasteners for the shock absorber and untighten the lug nuts. Lift the vehicle and support it firmly on jackstands. Remove the wheel, disconnect the balljoint from the steering knuckle, and move the shock absorber outward. Remove the control arm mounting bolts and check the balljoint and rubber bushings. Use a new cotter pin, tighten all fasteners to the torque values, and raise the lower control arm with a floor jack. Install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts, and have the front-end alignment checked and adjusted.

How to Remove and Install a Lower Control Arm in the Front Suspension of the Nissan 350Z?

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands placed under the frame rails. Remove the wheel, any lower engine splash shields, the suspension reinforcement brace, the shock absorber lower mounting fasteners, the balljoint from the steering knuckle with a balljoint removal tool, the nut on the balljoint stud, the mounting fasteners holding the control arm to the front suspension crossmember, the shock absorber, the tie-rod end from the steering knuckle, and the control arm front pivot and rear mounting bracket fasteners. Check the balljoint for excessive play or looseness and the condition of the rubber bushings. Installation is the reverse of removal, transferring the steering lock stud to the replacement control arm if necessary and installing a new cotter pin on the balljoint stud after tightening the nut. Raise the lower control arm with a floor jack to simulate normal ride height before tightening the lower control arm and lower shock absorber mounting fasteners. Install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the torque, and have the front end alignment checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

Nissan 350Z Control Arm

Unlike the typical frame application, the Control Arm in Nissan 350Z model is a structural part that links the frame to the wheels while supporting other suspension items such as shocks or springs. These arms in turn revolve at the flip side of the road in a bid to enable the wheels to perform the up and down. Former models were usually constructed of stamped steel, whereas the modern versions can have cast iron or aluminum arms. The control arms are strong but they may need some degree of maintenance because the bushing and ball joint rubbers wear out. Regular control arms can also be used but to address high power and spirited use, OEM performance control arms are recommended. Also, the control arm bushings and bolts and hardware are provided to upgrade the car's response to turn and adjustments.

If you need any OEM Nissan 350Z Control Arm, feel free to choose them out of our huge selection of genuine Nissan 350Z Control Arm. All our parts are offered at unbeatable prices and are supported by the manufacturer's warranty. In addition, we offer quick shipping to have your parts delivered to your door step in a matter of days.
