Nissan X-Trail T31 and Renault Koleos H45 lower front control arms

The Nissan X-Trail T31 (2007-2013) was one of the most popular compact off-roaders of its time, however, like most vehicles in this class, they work their suspension hard and, in particular, the vertical pivot bushes on the front lower control arms (AKA wishbones). Once that bush fails, it transfers all the suspension load into the locator bush - which it's not designed to handle. Once the locator bush fails, it's extremely difficult to replace due to its location in the arm - the only real solution is to throw the arms away.

This means that the best option is to replace the whole arm assemblies and SuperPro offer a complete solution to this problem : OE-spec arms with SuperPro's much-improved bushes already fitted (TRC1031). The kit includes both left and right-hand lower arms, SuperPro vertical pivoting bushes (already fitted), locator bushes and uprated balljoints. 

These arms also fit the Renault Koleos H45 (2008-2010).
