control arms/trailing arms

[02psyhcopathy]

I just have a quick question...2002 pathfinder i need all the rear bushings replaced. Upper, lower and even the rear shocks are bad. Would i have any reason to replace the control arms? Or can i just get the bushings off 4x4 and replace them that way?

the rear ones are called trailing arms, dont forget that when buying from 4x4 parts. control arms are for the front, and if there isnt anything wrong with them, id say, upgrade the rear suspension first. For the rear trailing arms, usually it is the 2 lower ones that need replacing but hey, if you want to replace all 4, then more power to you (id probably do the same thing).

be careful when trying to unhook the trailing arms, there are reports of the bolts fusing (not really) so its a good idea to soak it with a penetrating oil days before

Also for the shocks, get KYB gas- a- justs, they are monotube and perform great without killing your wallet
