The front, rear suspension link has a regular bolt in the front and an eccentric assy. in the rear. The rear, rear suspension link has one eccentric link. One does the toe and the other does the camber. So, if you are in need of all of the eccentric bolts, here are the part numbers:
Pin assy., Nissan P/N 54580-7S000, Quantity: 4
Disc eccentric, Nissan P/N 54559-1Z600, Quantity: 4
Nut, Nissan P/N 08918-6441A, Quantity: 4
Here's the problem, though: if the bolt is seized, then it is seized to the metal sleeve inside the control arm bushing. This means the bolts will have to be cut out and in addition to the eccentric bolts, you will also need the control arms and the straight bolts for the front bushing of the front, rear suspension link.
Here's a diagram:

This post was addressing the rear suspension bolts. Refer to my first posting in the sticky for the front suspension bolts:EvilTheCat wrote:Hey smj. Sorry to resurrect this 2 year old thread, but I'm encountering the same issue. I do plan to replace the 4 lower control arms just for their bushings. My bolts are seized into the bushings on both control arms on each side.
I have been looking at all the bolt part numbers, but I don't quite agree with one of the part numbers. When I look for it on courtesy parts I come up with this bolt. To me it looks like an eccentric bolt also. The diagram doesn't appear to have a bolt in the image as far as I can see. going through the front bushing on the front control arm. You list 3 bolts total for the front control arm. Is one of them supposed to be for the lower shock mount? Or perhaps the bolt that holds the ball joint in? You also say the eccentric bolts for the toe and camber eccentric bolts in the 2 control arms are the same, but the part numbers are different in the diagrams. I'm just confused.
Secondly, does anyone know if the front eccentric bolts you can get from rockauto, like these, will work on either rear control arm? They're supposed to for the front camber and caster.
I went back and took a look at it and changed it (Thanks for pointing it out!). The short bolt is the lower bolt of the shock absorber. They don't show the bolt in the front on the part diagram, but it should be the same as the ones for the upper arm, 080B4-4001A. So, the hardware for the rear suspension, front/lower control arm should be as follows:Pathfan wrote:Hi, I greatly appreciate SMJ and all his valuable information that he posts everywhere on this site. Also appreciate all others that have shared information.
I’m trying to get all the correct parts for replacing the 4 lower rear control arms for my mechanic. I have all the control arms (Mevotech). Also ordered the bolts, washers and nuts using SMJ’s bolt list.
However, one of the bolts on list seems to be incorrect. The eccentric bolt with part number 55226-7S001 is too short for application for the Forward Rear Suspension Control Arm. Also, the list mentions a regular bolt 54580-7S000 but, it is an eccentric bolt.
Anyways does anyone know the correct part number for the regular bolt for the Forward Rear Suspension Control Arm?
