The part that is replaced is that part that fails on the lifted Xterras. It's those Balljoints on the Centerlinks that fail. You can see the balljoint in the stock centerlink in the first pic. Pics that follow courtesy of Anthony, I just cropped them a bit.
Stock centerlink installed, idler arm side:
Hoohaa centerlink installed, idler arm side:
Notice the Inner tie rod end also sits lower on the HooHaa centerlink than in the stock centerlink. That helps to restore the stock steering geometry.
