Clunking over speed bumps, a car that won't hold its alignment, or one front tyre wearing on the edge are classic bad ball joint symptoms on an Altima of this age. This pair replaces both front lower arms complete, with the ball joints already fitted, so the repair is a bolt-in swap. Not sure the ball joint is the cause? Our guide to bad ball joint symptoms shows how to check before you buy.

Altima Front Lower Control Arm Pair with Ball Joints, 2007-2012

This Altima front lower control arm pair covers both sides of the car: one left (driver side) arm and one right (passenger side) arm, each supplied with its ball joint already pressed in and its rubber bushings fitted. The supplier lists the pair for the Nissan Altima from 2007 to 2012, all models except the Hybrid, and for the 2013 Altima two-door coupe only. Easy Life Markets sells the two arms together, so both front corners get the same parts on the same day.

The lower arm is the main link between the front subframe and the wheel. Its two inner bushings let the suspension move up and down, and the ball joint at the outer end lets the steering knuckle turn. On an Altima of this age the bushings crack and the ball joint develops play, and you usually notice it first as a knock over bumps or a car that will not hold its alignment. Because these arms arrive as complete assemblies, the job is a straight swap: no press work on old bushings or ball joints.

1 x front lower right (passenger side) control arm with ball joint pre-pressed – K620196

The supplier describes them as complete assemblies with ball joints and rubber bushings. New mounting bolts, sway bar links and fitting instructions are not listed as included.

Use them to cross-check against what is on your car or in a parts catalogue. They identify what the arms replace. They do not mean the arms were made by the companies whose numbers are quoted.

Checking Fitment

The supplier's application list is short:

Nissan Altima, 2007–2012, all models, excluding Hybrid
Nissan Altima, 2013, two-door coupe only

The 2013 line is the one that catches people out. The four-door Altima changed for 2013, and the supplier does not list this pair for that sedan. To be sure before you order:

Confirm the year and body style. For a 2013 car, check that it is the coupe.
Rule out the Hybrid. The supplier excludes it.
Match a number. Look up your lower arm by VIN in a Nissan parts catalogue and compare it with 54500JA00B and 54501JA00B, or compare the number on an existing aftermarket arm with the list above.
Compare the shape. Check your arm against the photos below: bushing positions, the ball joint stud and the hole through the middle of the arm.
Ask us. Send us your VIN if anything does not line up and we will help you check it against the supplier's data.

How Worn Lower Arms Show Up

A knock or clunk from the front over speed bumps and potholes
The car pulling to one side, or the steering wheel sitting off-centre
A shimmy through the steering under braking
Front tyres wearing unevenly on one edge
Rubber bushings that are split or have pulled away from their sleeves
A torn ball joint boot, or movement at the joint when the wheel is levered with the car raised

Installation Advice

Raise the car and support it on stands rated for its weight. Never work under a car held only by a jack.
Soak the subframe bolts and the ball joint pinch bolt with penetrating oil beforehand. They are often seized on older cars.
Separate the ball joint from the knuckle with the correct tool instead of hammering on the stud.
Fit the new arm loosely, lower the suspension to ride height, and only then tighten the bushing bolts to the service manual torque. Tightening them with the wheel hanging preloads the rubber and shortens its life.
Have the front alignment checked afterwards.

Control arms and ball joints are safety-critical parts. If a ball joint or mounting bolt fails, the wheel is no longer held in place. Have a qualified mechanic fit them if you are not set up for suspension work.

Why Fit Both Sides

Left and right arms have done the same mileage on the same roads. If one ball joint is loose, the other is usually close behind. Changing both at once gives matched bushings on each side, one alignment instead of two, and steering that feels the same turning left or right.

Who This Pair Is For

It suits Altima owners dealing with front-end knocks or a failed inspection for ball joint play, home mechanics who would rather bolt in a complete arm than press bushings, and garages that want both sides in one delivery.

Common Questions

Will these fit a 2013 Altima sedan? The supplier lists the 2013 two-door coupe only, so we cannot confirm the pair for the 2013 sedan.

Are these genuine Nissan parts? No. They are unbranded aftermarket arms. The Nissan numbers quoted are for cross-reference.

Do I need to buy ball joints separately? No. Each arm comes with its ball joint already pressed in.

Do you ship outside the US? Yes. We offer free international shipping on every order. See our shipping policy.
