Keep the front suspension pivoting and the wheel held in its intended position with Beck/Arnley 102-4751, a control arm built for the front left lower position on the 1996-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and the 1997-2003 Infiniti QX4. Beck/Arnley designs it as a direct replacement for the original arm, matching OE form, fit and function.
A lower control arm links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's frame. It lets the wheel travel up and down over the road while helping hold it in place for steering and alignment.
Signs that a control arm may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, wandering or loose-feeling steering, uneven tire wear, and a bent arm found during inspection. Other worn steering and suspension parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
