Detailed Description

This suspension control arm is built for the rear lower rearward position and is shaped to match the original suspension geometry on the listed vehicles. The stamped steel construction, coated finish, and integrated bushings support consistent suspension location and alignment on applications such as the 2006-2015 Nissan Armada, 2006-2013 INFINITI QX56, 2014-2024 INFINITI QX80, 2017-2024 Nissan Armada, and 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder. Part number 522-005 is a direct-fit replacement choice for drivers servicing worn rear suspension components.

Common Repair Uses

• Restoring rear suspension control after bushing wear
• Correcting looseness or clunking from the rear lower suspension
• Replacing a bent or corroded control arm
• Addressing uneven tire wear related to rear suspension movement
• Replacing an OE-style rear lower rearward arm on Armada, QX56, QX80, or Pathfinder models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear lower rearward position before installation and compare the original arm length and mounting points to the replacement. Because the ball joint is not included and mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct service parts as required by the vehicle. After installation, perform a professional alignment to confirm rear suspension geometry.
