To replace the lower control arms on a 1994 Acura Integra safely raise and stabilize the car. Remove the lower ball joints and two bolts that hold the lower control arms to the car. Pull them off. Replace with a new unit.
You can replace just the ball joints on the lower control arms , but the upper ball joints come with a new control arm

the lower control arms on a 1998 Malibu , are as follows the control arms to frame (front bushing) 45 ftlbs and (rear bushing) is 74 ftlbs....this is strait from gm service
On a 1996 Ford Explorer : On the lower control arms on both sides of the vehicle you will see what looks like a hook ( or bar ) on the front side of the lower control arms The factory jack is placed there in order to change a front tire
The ball joint is an integral part of the lower control arms. Ergo you must replace the entire lower control arm. Dealer cost is about $450 ea there's no aftermarket availability that I have found. My car's not worth the price of the parts ro replace the arms. RATS.
As far as I know nobody makes bushings for front control arms of Altima 93-01. Many Internet stores sells complete control arms with bushings and bell joint. I've found one that sells at 79$.
near the front wheels on the upper and lower control arms
worldsuspension.com sells new lower control arms w/ball joints for $67 for the pair!!!
Instead of using coil springs on the front suspension torsion bars are used from the lower control arms to the frame ( my 1995 Ford Explorer 4x4 has torsion bars , my dads 73 Dodge Coronet had torsion bars ) If you look at a lower front suspension that has torsion bars you will see the torsion bars going from the lower control arms rearward
It should be the same as my 1995 Ford Explorer , there is a " hook " on the front of both lower control arms
