Installation Notes
Fits 2021-2024 Nissan Frontier, front lower. This is a press-in part, so proper removal and installation tools are required for service. Verify the front lower mounting location, stud type, and dimensions before installation. Because the joint is non-adjustable and non-greaseable, confirm the surrounding suspension components are in serviceable condition before reassembly.
