Get the Best Priced Nissan 300ZX Control Arm

The control arm on your Nissan 300ZX has two separate pieces. There is an upper control arm and a lower control arm. It is also called the A-arm and is referred to by Wikipedia as "a hinged suspension link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel." An indication that you need to check your 300ZX front lower control arm or your 300ZX rear lower control arm is a knocking sound or a squeaking sound when you go over bumps in the road. Uneven tire wear and the vehicle's tendency to wander are also early warning signs that service or replacement of your 300ZX front suspension may be necessary. If you wait too long the lower control arm can become completely disconnected from the suspension, making your vehicle completely inoperable.
