LCA replacement

Hello all!

I'm new here but have bought a 96 nissan maxima and have been using these forums as a great source of information. I needed new tires as my car is pulling bad to the right and they would not allow me to get an alignment done due to the front right LCA. I'm wondering if this video is a good source of information or if there is anything else I need to know. I can't justify a 400 charge for the replacement of a 44 dollar part that looks simple to replace. Any tips in addition to this video are greatly appreciated.


Thank you all and have a great weekend,
Dan

The video' s author is a long time org member. He really knows the A32B. Follow his tutorial with confidence. Don't just do one side as likely both lcas are junk. I bought the fcps in the group but section 3 or 4 years ago and haven't had an issue with them. It's just nuts and bolts. Take your time and do a good job.

All done and my car drives SO much better now! I can tell some of the struts are going but that is another job for when I get more money. thank you all for the advice, I replaced my end links as well, just bought them since they were cheap and I knew this car could use some TLC, appreciate the help and if whoever made this video is still on here thank you very much! Look forward to learning about cars on this 96 maxima I got for 600, Needs a lot of work and I feel confident I can make it pretty again!
