Roy in Jax Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yesterday we were able to change out the control arms and balljoints on the Nissan Sunrader. While we were under the vehicle working off the ground I decided to also replace tie rods while in the area. What a pain in the butt, we had all the tools we needed. The job would have been much easier if the vehicle was on a lift. The torsion bars were a little tricky, I had never had to remove and make adjustments to the bars before. Going to take vehicle to the alignment shop in the morning for final alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 So how bad were the originals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy in Jax Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 The alignment shop said they could not do the alignment until balljoints were replaced. Rubber boots were bad. Balljoint looked like the originals. I did check for rattles and excess movement, I could not tell any difference. I do know when the truck went over curbs to roadway, there was a grinding sound.

Roy in Jax Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Truck had it's frontend alignment today. Was on the rack for over an hour. Truck alignment total $65, what a relief. No more parts for the frontend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
