DIY - Replacing Lower Control Arms & Sway Bar Links 2000 Infiniti I300

This is a DIY on how to remove and replace lower control arms and front sway bar links for a 2000 Infiniti I30
 
 
 


 
You DO NOT have to remove the outer tie rod when you do this DIY , Start off by removing the sway bar links from the top .
 
 
In the photo above you can start by removing the ball joints first in the yellow arrow ( Details below on how to remove that part ) Then you can loosen the nut where the green arrow is showing , From there you can remove the red and pink arrow bolts . Then once you have it off you can finish taking off the green nut from the bracket to slide in the new lower control arm .


 
I used a ball joint separator as photo above .
 
 
This is where in the photo above the green arrow was pointed , The driver side has no room to remove it all the way that's why I recommend you loosen that nut this was while the bracket is still braced to the frame you can have torque .



 
Once you remove everything then you can put the parts back on the same way you have taken it off . If you haven't had a alignment go out and get one but none is needed for this DIY .
 
Parts where purchased from eBay at a great deal for lower control arm , sway bar links and outer tie rod , But I didn't need the outer tie rod at this time .
