Based on what my friend was saying also while listening with a stethoscope he believes its the bushing on the lower control arm.
Thanks again!VStar650CL wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 6:25 amNissan only sells the whole lower link, although you can probably get the individual ball joint in an aftermarket part. With cast control arms, I've honestly never seen the point in stuffing a new joint into an old arm. The arm assemblies aren't generally pricey even from Nissan, most are in the $200~350 range OTC and as little as half that online.

Not sure about your G25 because I think they use a pipe axle in the front final drive, somebody else here may know better than I do. But Nissan CV's generally have a round outside expansion ring on the end of the splined portion that snaps into place to retain it in the trans or diff. Your guy may have lost the ring, or it may just not be pushed all the way in.
I doubt it. Assuming, just for example, 30" from strut tower to ball joint and 9" from control arm bushings to ball joint, to get a full 1 degree difference would mean a control arm almost 1/2" longer. That can't just be production tolerance. Unless you have something bent in the structure, it would have to mean a wrong part. Have you put a tape measure on the arms to compare them?Gold Digger wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 11:27 amVisually, the knuckle looks fine. Now granted, being bent slightly but enough to throw camber out 1* may not be obviously seen, but it doesn't mean this could still be the issue.
