This front lower ball joint 40160‑2S601 is a heavy‑load spherical component for front suspension system. It links front lower control arm to steering knuckle, allows flexible suspension travel during bump, rebound and steering operation, stabilizes camber‑caster angle for Nissan Pickup D22, Frontier and Xterra equipped with KA24DE / TD25 engine from 1997‑2005. Constructed with high‑strength forged steel housing, precision‑ground ball stud and durable dust‑proof rubber boot. Internal grease reservoir reduces friction wear and extends service life. Mounting hole layout, ball‑stud thread specification and overall dimension strictly comply with OEM specifications. Every unit passes torque‑load and fatigue‑endurance test before shipment for direct bolt‑on installation without extra modification. Common failure symptoms include rubber boot rupture, chassis clunking noise on rough road, loose steering response, uneven tire wear. It is widely replaced during front‑chassis overhaul, serving as essential repair spare‑part for Nissan pickup and SUV suspension maintenance.
