I need to replace my bushing in the front control arm. Is there a DIY or any instructions out there that tells you how to do this?

My tires are worn bad from the worn bushings, esp inside treads.

 

I'd say no, unless you have press or air tools. It is max 1.5 hrs of labour at the shop+alignment, just pay for it.

Otherwise instructions are simple: take front control arm off, get old bushings out, put new bushings in.

 

He's right its really easy i only used the manual for tourqe specs...
Helpful hint PB Blaster the shizz out of the bolts, I even had to borrow one of those
electic tourqe wrench to help me on a few of the bolts.

How are you planning to press in the new bushings? I paid a local shop to press in the new bushings for me and just tipped them 10 bucks..

Heres a diy from Jason to help you

^nice find, looks like if you can change a wheel bearing(rear bearing, not the front wheel bearings, they were too easy)....you can do this DIY.

OP are you sure you don't just need a wheel alignment? Although worn bushings can result tire wear, you should notice a shake on high speeds and problems tracking the car straight also.

 

There's a 350z website I won't mention that has a great DIY for this.

An electric impact is a must for suspension work. I wouldn't attempt it without one.

It took me about four hours to get this done, but I had to drive to a shop and let them press them out/put the new in, plus lunch .

Super easy, just time consuming. Those cotter pins were a bish to remove, too.
