NISSAN 55080-41G1A Control Arm Bushing Bolt

The genuine NISSAN (SKU: 55080-41G1A) control arm bushing bolt is a critical, high-strength fastener responsible for the safe and stable operation of the vehicle's suspension system. This specialized bolt secures the control arm and its bushing to the subframe (crossmember) or chassis, ensuring precise suspension geometry.

Technical Characteristics and Product Information:

• Manufacturer: NISSAN (Genuine OEM part)
• OEM Part Number: 55080-41G1A
• Alternative / OEM Reference Number: 5508041G10
• Part Type: Control arm bushing retaining bolt
• Material Quality: High-tensile, hardened steel alloy resistant to significant shear and tensile stresses.
• Surface Protection: Specialized corrosion-resistant coating against oxidation caused by moisture, mud, and road salt.

Role and Importance of the Control Arm Bolt:

Suspension components are subjected to constant dynamic loads during driving. The role of the control arm bushing bolt is to provide a consistent and precise clamping force. If the bolt becomes loose, stretched, or corroded, it directly affects vehicle handling, tire wear, and driving safety.

Typical Symptoms of Wear or Damage:

• Metallic knocking or rattling noises from the suspension, especially over uneven road surfaces or during cornering.
• Imprecise steering response and unstable straight-line tracking.
• Visually evident severe corrosion, thread damage, or bolt deformation.
• Uneven or abnormal tire wear resulting from altered suspension geometry.

Installation Recommendation: When replacing suspension components (such as control arms or bushings), it is strongly recommended to replace the mounting bolts with new, genuine parts in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Bolts must always be tightened to the factory-specified torque under load (with the vehicle resting on its own weight) to ensure tension-free clamping of the bushings.
