Common Problems This Part Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

TA2873 is a front inner, inner left, or inner right application depending on the vehicle listing. Verify the exact position, thread direction, and thread diameter before installation, and confirm the vehicle-specific notes in the fitment data. Because this part is pre-greased and not greaseable, no routine grease fitting service is required. Alignment should be checked after replacement.
