1. Core Identification
This NISSAN 54501-4CL0B Front Lower Control Arm is a premium OE replacement manufactured by EEM Auto Parts, precisely engineered to match Nissan's strict specifications for front suspension systems in T32 X-Trail and J11 Qashqai models. Crafted with high-strength stamped carbon steel and pre-installed premium ball joint with dust boot, it effectively connects the chassis to the wheel hub, maintaining proper wheel alignment, absorbing road impacts, and ensuring stable handling during all driving conditions. As a critical front suspension component, it controls the vertical movement of the wheel while restricting lateral and longitudinal movement, providing a smooth and safe driving experience.
2. Core Components & Construction
The 54501-4CL0B Control Arm features a robust stamped carbon steel body with anti-corrosion E-coating treatment, providing exceptional resistance to rust and road salt damage. It includes a pre-assembled, factory-greased ball joint with a durable rubber dust boot to prevent contamination and extend service life. The arm incorporates precision-machined bushings made of high-density polyurethane with steel sleeves, designed to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations (-40°C to +120°C) and maintain optimal elasticity over time. All mounting points feature reinforced brackets for secure bolt attachment, ensuring proper torque distribution and preventing deformation under heavy loads.
3. Core Function
The front lower control arm plays a vital role in maintaining wheel alignment geometry, absorbing road shocks, and providing a stable foundation for the vehicle's suspension system. It connects the vehicle frame to the wheel hub assembly, allowing the wheel to move up and down freely while keeping it aligned in the correct camber, caster, and toe positions. A worn or damaged control arm can lead to uneven tire wear, steering wheel vibration, pulling to one side, clunking noises during braking or acceleration, and compromised handling performance. This OE-spec replacement restores factory suspension geometry, ensuring precise steering response and safe vehicle operation.
