Just did the LCAs on a 2010. Legit took 2 hours on each side and if you read forum’s and comments some guys spending all day. Here’s how I did it Remove the calibers, caliber brackets, and rotors. This will completely lighten the hub to all you to maneuver it around when time to install the LCA. Disconnect the strut and stabilizer from the hub as well. Next put the ball joint in first. Repeat ball joint in first. Slip the bolt through install nut but don’t tighten. Now slide the LCA in from back to front. Spinning it in. Take a rubber hammer and tap it into place. Use a screw driver to line the the holes up, then put in your bolts buy turning them in and adding your nut. I read a Nissan techs recommendation on this buried in an Altima’s comments. Tried it and it worked perfectly! Good luck with it.

When removing the strut bolts, mark the location of the strut. That will keep your alignment.

The hardest part which is getting the ball joint back into the knuckle or having to wiggle the arm back in and bend it down to get the ball joint in. U should show this, cuz it's more complicated than removing 3 bolts. Easy to get off but not to put back.

Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Question: Did you have to bend open the area where the ball joints fit in?

On the ball joint is there just the two bolts on the side to loosen or is there also one on top?

It's a bolt and a Nut to release the ball joint.

Have to know, why replace the whole control arm? Was it bent, or cracked or anything?

The rubber was worn, and the car was driving very loose. Felt as if I couldn't control the car. Sorry for the late reply, didn't even know you commented

All good, was just curious as why replace the whole control arm instead of just replacing the bushings. I just did mine recently and found out why. Much easier than trying to press in that big ass rear bushing! Also only cost about $50 more for both assemblies.
