3. Perform a wheel alignment.
^ For Frontier, Xterra, and Titan: Perform a 2 wheel alignment (refer to Section FSU in the appropriate Service Manual for alignment specifications and
adjustment points).
^ For Pathfinder and Armada: Perform a 4 wheel alignment. (Refer to sections FSU and RSU in the appropriate Service Manual for alignment

NOTE:
The original (factory installed) bolts for the front lower links are self centering and should not need replacement. The vehicle should need toe adjustment
only.
4. Grind a large X (about 1/16 inch deep) on the bottom side of the old link so it can be identified as a non-usable part.
NOTE:
Make sure to use suitable hand and eye protection.
