Replacing the Wishbones

Model: Nissan Pathfinder MK 1, R50 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Control arm

Remove the relevant wheel and then locate the position of the wishbones. Identify where they are secured and spray some lubricant or rust remover to make the bolt removal easier. Before unscrewing the wishbones, place a support under the differential to prevent damage to other parts. Proceed to unscrew the bolts securing the wishbones and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are identical parts. Reassemble everything by following the steps in reverse.
