Take on heavier loads and rougher roads with the MOOG CK621245 front left upper control arm with ball joint, a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2025 Nissan Frontier, 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder and 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra. It is part of MOOG's High Utilization Designs, built for jobs where extra strength, durability and confidence are called for.
MOOG tests this design to handle loads beyond those the vehicle manufacturer requires. The upper control arm locates the front wheel and carries the ball joint, which pivots as you steer and as the suspension travels. If a worn ball joint, bushing or arm is the cause of clunking, loose steering or uneven tire wear, this assembly replaces those components in one piece. This is the left-side arm, and replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced handling. Engine-specific details are in the Buyer's Guide tab. A wheel alignment check after installation is a good idea.

Is this one of the 2005-2025 Nissan Frontier upper control arms, and which side does it go on?

Yes. It is a direct-fit front left upper arm for the 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder, and it also fits the 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra.
What does a control arm and ball joint assembly do?
It connects the wheel's steering knuckle to the chassis, letting the wheel move up and down while the ball joint pivots with steering. This MOOG unit has the ball joint, bushings and dust boot pre-installed.
What are signs this upper control arm may need replacing?
Common signs include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, a torn ball joint boot, or cracked or worn bushings. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Does the ball joint need to be greased?
The socket is greaseable, so new lubricant can flush out contaminants to help reduce corrosion and wear. Grease it at the intervals given in your vehicle's service information.
