Does anyone know what this part is called? I need to get a replacement. Some lady cut me off and i hit a curve, and i'm hoping this is all i have to replace.

 

that is called the front lower link, according to the service manual.

 

if you go to order the part from nissan it'll be a pain in the *** to get it. they call it a lower a arm (least when this happened to me last year) the part is about 50$ but will take forever to get it. just order the traction/camber arms if you have the money and you will have a replacement arm faster.

 

yeah, good excuse right there to get lsdunique's adjustable camber arms

 

would it be the REAR lower link then, since it's in the rear?

some guy said it was the camber rod.

and where can i get this adjustable one? or where can i buy a replacement.

So far, i've heard

Lower A arm
Lower link
camber rod

 

No, the rear upper link is the big aluminum piece that the spring perches on. I believe camber rod is the popular term, but nissans terminoligy in the service manual (and if you are ordering a part) is front lower link. However, if you are trying to buy a used one, you might want to make a post saying you are looking for a stock camber arm, since several people are getting adjustable ones and may have them laying around.

barrybell, where did you get this illustration and prices?

 

www.nissan-auto-parts-dealer.com

It's a legitimate site, as I've already ordered replacement endlinks through them. Many Z parts will be on backorder, but their price is half of what the dealer will charge you.

 

John good call on site, that database shows up in many sites including the one I use,

you have PM

 

just a suggestion, but if that part is bent.. you might want to check the lower control arm and some of the other parts as well if they are bent out of shape or anything.. otherwise the car won't align right

 

Notice the prices on the site I referenced... same DB as you had mentioned, but NAPD has better prices. Thanks for the additional link though!

 

John

Interesting the prices are different, now I have two sites to compare with.

Thanks

 

I recently purchased a used Z and found out that that same lower link bar is bent!

I'm upset. I'm hoping this is the only major part that is wrong.

Is the front lower link a black metal bar around 1-2cm's in diamter that aligned parallel to the axle? its roughly about 8-12 inches long and is slightly bent looking?

Could someone give me a part number so I can find pricing? I'd so appreciate it.

yeah, it's slightly bent, you can kinda tell in the picture.
