Thread: Broke my axle last night DOH! (Pics)

Sorry to read about your troubles. To answer your question, yes, answers can be found here in our great repository of suspension knowledge that Shawn B gathered up for us.

I have a mix of Whiteline and ES bushings... along with Moog ball joints and tie rod ends. The easiest solution is to buy a new old-stock Nissan LCA pre-loaded with ball joint. Bolt right up and go about your life. It's new and it's stock. The more difficult, but better performance solution is to rebuild a used arm with after market parts like I did. It's a PITA, but not complex... it just requires some specialty tools. Your choice.

Haha, what sneaky bastards. Unbelievable.

Whiteline bushing for added caster (the "D" shaped bushing). Everything else Energy Suspension.

ok I just picked up an arm from the yard. I also noticed a P11 G20 while walking around. as first the arm appeared very similar then we noticed the B14 one is shorter. ah well

Running into a slight issue. Since I'm doing it by myself, as I try to tighten the main castle nut with an open 22" wrench everything spins with it, I tried wedging it, but it looks like im going to have to go get some really strong vice grips to stop it from turning.

Get it as tight as you can then drop the car on the ground and try again

Jack the arm up until it stops then tighten it. The same method can be used to remove it.


Also, maake sure you press in a MOOg ball joint before you put in the old arm. Chances are the old balljoint is shot anywho and the new one is only 20-30 dollars from rockauto or amazon.

Also, you can remove the ball joint while on the car by supporting the LCA and just using a BFH and (with the castle nut on top) just hammer it down and out a few times. The best method is renting a balljoint remover/installer from a autoparts store (shoud be free rental) and it should be a 10-15 min removal/install job on the balljoint.

Goodluck!

Yah, use a jack under it to press it up to stop it spinning.

I did @wildmane 's version and it worked perfectly thank you
