I wouldn't screw around with it. Change the control arm.

They are not meant to be serviced separately; you are supposed to replace the whole, lower control arm. Online Nissan dealers sell them for around $83+shipping. Mevotech has them on the aftermarket for $10 cheaper (I would go with the Nissan part). I would also recommend you get new bolts and nuts, as the old ones will probably be rusted and/or may be seized to the bushings and need to be cut out.

Local nissan dealer control arm and bolts $169 and about 3 hours of cussing and cutting.

Sawzall works very well at cutting the bolts.
