Upper and Lower Ball Joints and...

[truckmen]

Hello all,

I'm getting ready to replace the upper and lower ball joints and just wanted to ask if there is anything special I need to know to effect repairs on my own.

I'm looking to order a set from Amazon and came up with this set. Does this look like these are good-enough parts:

BOXI 8pcs Front Inner & Outer Tie Rods +
Upper and lower Ball Joints for
Nissan Frontier 2005-2019 /for Nissan Pathfinder 2005-2012 /for Nissan Xterra 2005-2015

Upper and Lower Ball Joints

Short answer, no. Use Hitachi tie rods, and if your ball joints need replacement, you may want to check the pivot bushings as well. It's probably time for a major refresh. Use quality parts.

I would do the whole control arms VS just the ball joints.

This. It just makes more sense. The arms aren't that expensive and it's two bolts up top and a Sawzall and new bolts on the bottom.

Kind of what I was getting at.... but to the OP ..... This.
