The Nissan Path

Hey guys, new member and new Pathy owner here. I got my 05' a couple months ago. Just bought Bilstein 5100 front ride height adjustable and Bilstein Heavy Duty rear. The adjustable is 2.5'' capable and the rear is a 2'' lift.

NOW it does not look like this car has every had its suspension redone. I am also a little tight on money after buying the Bilstein's and cv joints.

My next step is to buy the front upper and lower control arms with the ball joints attached. Separately I am buying the sway bar links and front strut mounts.

Is there anything cheap or vital that I am overlooking? I would hate to miss something simple while I have all my suspension gear disassembled.

If you are replacing control arms, you should purchase new bolts as a lot of them rust and seize to the control arm bushings and have to be cut out.

I second smj start with PB blasting the nuts and bolts.
If you replace you UCAs you will need to either cut the bolt next to the steering link or loosen it to pry the bolt out. Obviously if you cut you will replace.

Best bang for your buck on UCAs is the SPC brand or of brand ones Rockauto carries.
