New Control Arm with Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com https://trq.video/ia-1ASFU00146

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 upper control arm in your 2005-15 Nissan Xterra.

Why don't you share the driver side replacement because one of the nuts you actually have to cut off because it runs into the steering wheel linkage?

@Gwaplord3957 says:

What do you do on the driver side.

@therussmccurdy2602 says:

I'm glad I live in Oregon and don't have to deal with the rust issues

@Scotts-Pathfinder-Adventures says:

Why is it so rusty, sad when people don't look after their vehicles

@JustMe-pq4hy says:

Nice. I did the drivers side, I ended up cutting the bolt out that is below the steering shaft.

@raulvasquez3368 says:

Thank you very much

@trini203 says:

Video is labeled “arms”, plural, as if you show the drivers side as well. Which you do not. Why don’t you guys go ahead and post that video already? Thanks.

@martinspencer2774 says:

the driver's side is a nissan beauty of a screw up. would not have to remove center steering column joint if only the upper control arm rear bolt was installed back to front instead of front to back…jackasses!

@Hero______ says:

Watching your video seem like an easy job now I can do it. Thank you very much.

@johnwoods3061 says:

Thank you! You saved me a lot of money.

That’s nice. Do the driver’s side so that viewers know what they are in for. I use an OTC tie rod puller for the upper ball joint/control arm. It is more elegant and easier than a pickle fork.
