Hi everyone,
Hit a curb awhile back and driver side lower control arm (LCA) bushing was in bad shape. Finally got around to ordering the new one but when I went to install the nut wouldnt snug the ballpoint in the spindle. Turns out I’m missing a whole collar piece thingy. My car is a 2013 w akebonos so I automatically assumed that makes it the sport package so I ordered the control arm from Z1 with the sport option.... my question is if I should’ve gotten another control arm or if Z1 maybe sent me the wrong part? I’m gunna call them tomorrow would like to know if maybe I’m missing some information or something? ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm having a hard time seeing the pic on my laptop because it's so big. But from what I can tell. The conical piece comes off and goes on the new ball-joint stud. Unless Nissan made a change.

You are correct. It swapped right over with some heavy taps from the hammer. Sorry bout the size. Uploading from the iPhone. As soon as I went to install I noticed my spindle was cracked sadly. ![]() I wish there was an aftermarket spindle that looked better. The voodoo one only comes with the angle kit.
