Front Right Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint for 2000-04 Nissan

In this review of the TRQ front right lower control arm with ball joint, the bottom line is simple: this OE replacement is aimed at owners of 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier and 2000-2004 Xterra who need a direct-fit, durable suspension component without paying dealership prices. The reviewer found the assembly to match original fit and mounting points, making installation straightforward for a competent DIYer or a mechanic, and its steel construction and included bushings deliver a solid replacement for worn factory parts.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match OE mounting locations so it installs without modification on compatible Frontier and Xterra models.
• Complete Assembly: Includes the lower control arm and press-in ball joint so you replace both wear points in a single job.
• OE Reference Compatibility: Cross-references common OE and aftermarket numbers for easier parts matching when confirming fitment.
• Steel Construction: Built from steel to provide the strength expected from a suspension control arm and resist flex under normal driving loads.
• Bushings Included: Arrives with bushings installed so steering geometry and ride characteristics remain consistent after replacement.

Who It's For

This part is best for owners of 2000-04 Nissan Frontier V6 3.3L and 2000-04 Nissan Xterra who need the front passenger side lower control arm replaced with a like-for-like assembly. It suits people who prefer a direct-fit aftermarket solution that mirrors factory specifications and want to avoid sourcing separate ball joints and bushings.

It is not ideal for vehicles outside the stated model years and configurations, and buyers with nonstandard suspensions or who need an adjustable or greaseable arm should look at specialty aftermarket performance arms instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit design simplifies installation and reduces alignment surprises.
• Included bushings and press-in ball joint mean one labor operation replaces the whole lower assembly.
• Matches OE reference numbers, helping confirm compatibility with factory parts lists.

Cons

• Some customers report occasional ball joint damage, so inspect the ball joint on receipt and during installation.
