TrueDrive REPN281524 Front Lower Control Arm with Ball Joint and Bushing, Driver Side

The TrueDrive REPN281524 is a front lower control arm assembly for the driver side (left), designed as a direct OEM replacement for Nissan Altima and Maxima applications. This assembly includes a pre-installed ball joint and bushing, making it a complete, ready-to-install unit that simplifies the replacement process and restores factory suspension geometry.

Engineered to match original equipment specifications, this control arm maintains proper wheel alignment, camber, and caster settings — critical factors for stable steering response, even tire wear, and overall handling performance. The integrated ball joint provides the pivoting connection between the control arm and steering knuckle, while the bushing absorbs road vibration and reduces noise transfer into the cabin.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM replacement — no modifications required for installation
• Includes pre-installed ball joint and bushing for a complete assembly
• Engineered to restore factory suspension geometry and alignment specs
• Driver side (left/LH) front lower control arm placement
• Replaces OEM part numbers 545017Y00A and 545018J000
• Built to meet or exceed original equipment standards for fit, form, and function

This control arm is the correct replacement when wear or damage to the original unit causes symptoms such as clunking noises, pulling during braking, or uneven tire wear. Installing a complete assembly with a fresh ball joint and bushing ensures long-term reliability and eliminates the need for separate component sourcing.
