Postby elviejo41585 » Wed Apr 10, 2013 6:17 pm

Ok so I tried toget my pathy aligned and I was told the were the lower control arm rod sat was all wore out the basically I had to cut one off a different truck and weld it on mine cause mine couldn't be replaced. Sounds crazy to me but if anybody has had this problem please fill me in on how you fixed thank you!

You're not the first. You don't have to cut one off of another truck. Nissan refers to it as a "bracket-tension rod" and it can be purchased brand new through Nissan for about $75. The old one will have to be cut off and the new one welded on, though. The part is listed in the frame section of the Nissan parts catalog. It would probably be a good idea to get a new tension rod, sleeve and bushings.

So I just received my brackets and was wondering how to install them do I have to weld it or just some bolts I haven't took a look yet just wondering what I have to tackle this weekend?

Old ones have to be cut off and the new ones need to be properly lined up and welded onto the frame.
