Here’s another video in the series with Jerry Hall’s 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R. In this episode I replace the left lower ball joint and left front wheel bearing. I was intent on working the brakes into this video, but as you can see, things didn’t quite turn out the way I had planned.
No matter. The work got done and we are one step closer to completing the repairs on this car. To be honest, it’ll be a few episodes before we wrap this one up. Stay tuned.
