  Q: How to remove and install the upper control arm on Nissan Armada?

  A: When you want to lift the vehicle up, turn the ignition key to the OFF position on Armada models that have a rear auto-leveling suspension. During installation, new locknuts should be utilized for control arm pivot bolts as suggested by the manufacturer. The upper control arm can be removed by first loosening wheel lug nuts and raising the front of the vehicle onto jackstands. After removing the wheel and fenderwell liner, detach the upper control arm from the Steering Knuckle by taking out a cotter pin, loosening the upper balljoint nut, and applying a balljoint separator to pry off the balljoint from its socket in the knuckle. The nut is then taken off. For protection purposes, wire is used to hold together steering knuckle. Locate where you had positioned upper control arm pivot bolts and notes how they were fixed; thereafter remove them along with their nuts. As far as this new control arm is concerned, do not fasten it yet but put it between frame brackets with both its bolts and nuts. Thereafter install a new cotter pin before finally tightening ballstud nut that holds tie rod end into place at inside of steering knuckle while attaching balljoint's bottom section to its top part on top of steering knuckle. Finally tighten control arm pivot bolts/nuts properly. When tightening these bolt ones must jack up lower control arm till it reaches normal ride height or just let wheel sit inside once more before it is ready to rest on floor jack anymore so that you are going move ahead with tightening upper controlling arms mounting fasteners now in this direction or else when wheel does not move but rest at ground level in order tighten those nuts too as well as complete their installation which will include lastly tightening wheel lugs nuts after reversing processes of removals step-by-step which also includes checkup of front-end alignment need for any adjustment lastly if any.
