Nissan Leaf Front Lower Control Arm – Left / Right
This front lower control arm locates the front wheel on the Nissan Leaf and carries the suspension loads between the hub and the body. It is a steel arm supplied with the bushes and ball joint fitted. The left and right arms are different parts, so choose the side from the options.
Worn bushes or a loose ball joint usually cause knocks over bumps, wandering under braking, vague steering and uneven front tyre wear.
Choose the side and brand from the options: left is Febi 48158 and right is Febi 48159, and the Blue Print equivalents are ADN186129 (left) and ADN186130 (right). Febi and Blue Print are both made by the bilstein group, so they are the same part under two brand names.
The table below shows the Nissan versions listed in the bilstein group parts finder, with each note word for word. Listed in the parts finder for the Nissan Leaf (ZE0, 2010 – 2018) 80 kW and Leaf (ZE1, 2017 on) 110 kW and 160 kW. Some versions carry a note in the fitment table. Some versions are listed with a VIN-range note, shown word for word in the table; it is there for fitment information only. Compare the Nissan part number on your existing part with the numbers on this page before ordering.

Installation
Professional installation recommended. Tighten the bush bolts with the suspension at its normal ride height so the bushes are not preloaded, and have a wheel alignment done after fitting. If the vehicle is equipped with driver assistance systems, a sensor calibration may be necessary.
