This is a genuine Nissan front lower control arm bolt, used to secure the front lower control arm to the vehicle's chassis. It is specifically designed for Spanish-built Nissan Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 models, identifiable by a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) starting with 'VSK'. This critical component is sold individually, and a total of four bolts are required for a complete front-end replacement (two per side).
Over time, these high-tensile bolts can stretch, corrode, seize, or become damaged during removal, compromising suspension integrity. This bolt features a specialised design where the thread does not extend the full length, making it a non-standard item. It is highly recommended to replace these bolts whenever the front lower control arms are being serviced to ensure correct clamping force and safety. A Thai-built model version is available separately.
Replacing this bolt is a moderate to difficult job best suited to a workshop environment. It requires specialised tools to safely support the vehicle, manage high-tension suspension components, and a quality torque wrench to apply the correct final torque setting. When replacing these bolts, it is the ideal time to inspect or replace the front lower control arms themselves. You will require a total of four bolts to replace the hardware on both sides of the vehicle.
