What It Helps Address

- Uneven tire wear related to worn suspension joints
- Excess movement from deteriorated bushings
- Front-end instability during braking or cornering
Installation Notes and Tips
Install on the front left lower position only and verify vehicle-specific fitment before service. Because the ball joint is already installed, this assembly reduces separate component handling during replacement. After installation, a professional alignment is recommended to confirm suspension geometry and steering wheel position. Dorman 527-037 is a direct replacement part for Nissan Kicks, Nissan Kicks Play, and Nissan Versa applications listed above.
