Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder (R51). The chassis code on the listing is R51. In the box: 4 shell bushings, 4 tubes, and 8 washers. Order it as part number W53273X. Position: front.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 4 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Pathfinder, see Front Sway Bar Link Assembly, Front Upper Control Arm Set - Fixed Offset, and Rear Differential Bushing Kit.
Features
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting lets the part be serviced later.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
