The pressed mounting type means the ball joint is designed to be pressed into the control arm or mounting location. Ensure the tapered stud is properly aligned and torqued to manufacturer specifications. Since this part is non-greasable, no additional lubrication is necessary beyond the factory-installed dust boot. Verify that all included mounting hardware and nuts are securely fastened during installation.
