Front Passenger Lower Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint - G35/350Z

In this review of the Front Passenger Lower Rearward Control Arm with Ball Joint, the bottom line is clear: this is a direct-fit OE replacement for owners of 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 coupe and 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z who need a straightforward, vehicle-specific control arm replacement. The reviewer found it to be a practical alternative to dealer parts because it matches original mounting points and reference numbers, so installation is straightforward for a DIY mechanic or a professional technician seeking an OE-style assembly rather than a generic part.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match factory mounting points so it installs without modification and reduces alignment headaches after replacement.
• OE Replacement Assembly: Includes the control arm and ball joint as a single unit to restore steering geometry and suspension function quickly.
• Aluminum Construction: The arm's aluminum material balances strength and weight for durable support without adding unnecessary unsprung mass.
• Vehicle-Specific Fitment: Listing includes fitment checks and multiple OE reference numbers so buyers can confirm compatibility with their G35 or 350Z.
• Bushings Included: Supplied with bushings to avoid sourcing separate components and to simplify the swap during installation.
• Machined Ball Joint Mount: The machined mounting surface for the ball joint promotes correct seating and alignment when pressed or installed.

Who It's For

This control arm is best for owners of 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 coupe and 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z seeking a direct-fit, OE-style replacement without dealer pricing. It suits DIY mechanics familiar with front suspension work and independent shops that prefer parts with matching reference numbers for quick identification.

It is not aimed at modified cars that require adjustable or heavy-duty performance arms, nor is it for drivers who need a greaseable or adjustable ball joint; this assembly is non-greaseable and not adjustable, so performance tuning or frequent joint servicing would call for a different aftermarket option.
