Research on Control Arm for Nissan Quest

Your Nissan Quest control arm has two different pieces to inspect. There is an upper control arm and a lower control arm. It is a very important part of your front suspension and is described as the piece that connects the steering knuckle to the frame. They are connected to rubber bushings, called control arm bushings, to allow for the up and down movement of the suspension. Another connection of the control arms to the steering knuckle is through the ball joints. This allows the front tire to turn right and left. It can be a wise idea to change all these parts as a set for a full Nissan Quest control arm replacement.

When is it Time to Change My Control Arms?

One way that you can get an idea if you are having control arm problems in your Quest is to listen for 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 is necessary. Attend to this right away. Waiting too long can cause your 2004 Nissan Quest control arm to completely disconnect from the suspension. This can cause a host of other added problems or expenses.

Keep an Eye Out

There are not currently any Nissan recalls specifically on these parts. However, there are issues concerning the Quest feeling sloppy or loose after doing a 2006 Nissan Quest lower control arm replacement. The remedy can be to replace the inner and outer tie-rods. They are a very minimal expense. Then take your Quest in for an alignment. The main point is to regularly inspect your van in this area. What holds the front wheels of your late model van on the road is the 04 Nissan Quest control arm bushing, 2004 Nissan Quest lower ball joint, and the control arms themselves. If these parts are worn out the vehicle is not safe to drive.

Change Parts Together or Separate?

In most cases, the ball joint can't be replaced by itself. The ball joint is built into the control arm. This is an important fix because a worn ball joint can allow the wheel to separate from the suspension, causing you to lose control of the vehicle. On the highway, at high speeds, this can be disastrous. Changing a 2007 Nissan Quest lower control arm bushing can be done without changing the control arm if you choose. This will take you almost the same amount of time, so often it makes good sense to change the control arm and the bushing all at the same time.

Cost of Safe Travel

You can buy 2004 Nissan Quest lower control arm bushing separate or choose to buy a complete front suspension kit. Simply replacing the ball joints on both sides can cost you between $285-$359 at a repair shop. If you do the work you will save almost $200 in labor charges. The work should only take you about an hour or so for each side. To find the parts at a great price shop an online parts supplier like PartsGeek.com. We only sell auto parts online.
