Arrived on time. Good quality, and bolted right up to my clients '97 Nissan Pathfinder. The Pathfinder and what's called "the death wobble" which is sometimes the wheel bearing, but not this time. The bushings on the old control arms appeared to be ok, but upon removal, they were awful! A disaster! These new control arms tightened the axle back up like new and fixed the problem. Keep in mind that these are multi-vehicle replacements and fix several models. They had a few different brackets than the original, but bolt up and work perfectly

Bought both of the lower trailing arms to hopefully fix the "death wobble" in my 98 Pathfinder. Decided to hire a mechanic to replace them even though it's only 4 bolts and nuts off and on. I could see that the bolts would probably have to be cut off, and, sure enough, they did need that. Got my car fixed in one day, at much less than buying the parts locally - and it works great now! (Same review as for the passenger side)

Quick and easy replacement. Part looks slightly different from OEM part, but no complaints. Great balance of price and quality.

I installed these per the manual. Torqued them with the car on the ground. Within 600 miles the bushing in the Left lower arm was torn, and the car felt worse than before I started. These are cheaply made chinese parts. To top it off Amazon won't return/replace and it hasn't even been 30 days. Junk. I should have just bought urethane bushings and put them in the stock arms.

Installed on my 2002 Infiniti QX4. Instructions on Nicoforum were very accurate. I did not swap out the bushings. The OEM bushings lasted 135k miles, so I figured I could gamble on these for another hundred! They matched OEM to a tee. There was no cutting or adjustments necessary. I could have used the old bolts, but installed new ones for peace of mind. I also installed KYB shocks while I had the truck on the lift. The ride difference is night and day. The death sway is gone and the shocks stiffened up the rear end. Just for reference, I could stomp on the hitch and bring the rear end down 8 inches. I can barely get an inch with a healthy stomp now! Good combo...Dorman trailer arms and KYB shocks!Nov 2016 Update: These trailing arms only lasted 25k miles. Utterly disappointed. I've had good luck with other Dorman parts in the past. I ordered the poly bushings from 4x4parts.com but I had serious issues pushing out the bushings. I gave up and ordered a full set of another brand and will try the rubber bushings again. Since I have 160k miles on my rig, getting 50-75k miles is all I'm looking for. I didn't expect 1 year and 25k miles of use to wear them out.

My 2001 Pathfinder was swaying at speeds over 60 mph. This product stopped the swaying. Easy to install I jacked up at the axle hub and that allowed me to move to slid into place.

My 2003 Pathfinder was experiencing what the dealer affectionately called 'death wobble' where the bushings in the lower and upper control (trailing) arms have reached their end of life period. If you're experiencing the back end swaying when you accelerate or decelerate that is the phenomenon in question.As a less-than-shade-tree mechanic the task to replace them was initially daunting: buy new bushings, lift the truck, remove the old arms, somehow remove the old bushings (drill/blowtorch/saw), find a press to install the new bushings, and then reinstall the arms.Forget all that, buy all the parts new for the same (or less) cost than replacing the only the bushings. Buy new bolts while you're at it (I recommend the kit from 4x4parts.com) as the old ones are best removed with a sawzall and a plethora of blades.Set aside 6 hours of your time, go slow, go safe, and you'll save hundreds in dealership labor costs. The dealer gave me an estimate for near $1000 to replace both sets of arms and the rear shocks. Using Amazon the totals came to around $330, a huge savings even if you have to buy more tools (torque wrench, ratcheting box wrenches and 17, 19, 21mm sockets).Now the truck accelerates safely and does not sway at all. The back end is firmer and much more planted than it was before. The Dormans look a little different than the original OEM but they're of a much beefier construction--nothing flimsy about them. I have no doubts they'll last for another 100k miles (or more).July 2015 Edit: Sadly these did not last 100k miles but rather about 35k. Just finished replacing these trailing arms with the OEM versions with "lifetime" polyurethane bushings so I don't have to do this job again. After 3.5 years on the car the trailing arms could pass as new with the exception of the rubber bushings.

Let me just start by saying what a great price!! I had called the dealer about this same EXACT part and they wanted over double the amount! Parts showed up quickly and fit perfect. Let me add that you need to replace both sides and sometimes the upper arms as well. You may also need to order new bolts from the dealer as yours will most likely be seized. I love AMAZON!!
