Front Passenger Lower Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint for 2004-06

In this review of the Front Passenger Lower Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint for 2004-06 Infiniti G35, the bottom line is straightforward: this part is for owners who need a direct-fit, OE replacement suspension arm that closely matches factory geometry and can be installed without modifying mounting points. The reviewer found it delivers solid fit and value for a common repair, with the main reason to buy being its vehicle-specific design and included bushings that simplify installation compared with sourcing separate components.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Fits the 2004-06 Infiniti G35 AWD front passenger lower rearward location for a straightforward swap with factory mounting points intact.
• Complete Assembly: Ships as a control arm with ball joint and bushings included so there is no need to press in separate components during installation.
• Steel Construction: Steel control arm material offers durability and the strength expected from an OE replacement suspension part.
• OE Reference Match: Uses OE reference numbers such as 54468AQ301 which helps confirm compatibility when cross-referencing parts lists.
• Non-Greaseable Ball Joint: Ball joint is machined and not greaseable, reducing maintenance but requiring replacement if the joint fails.

Who It's For

This control arm is best for Infiniti G35 owners with a 2004-2006 AWD sedan who need a like-for-like lower rearward passenger side replacement and prefer a ready-to-install assembly that matches factory specifications. It suits DIY mechanics with basic tools and professional shops looking for a cost-effective OE-style swap.

It is less suitable for owners who need adjustable control arms, need a greaseable ball joint for future servicing, or who require aftermarket performance tuning options that change alignment settings; those buyers should look at adjustable or performance-oriented control arms instead.
