This video shows you how to install new upper ball joints from TRQ on your 2005-2021 Nissan Frontier (4.0L V6). Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.

Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 1 hour 18 minutes
