Installation Notes

Verify vehicle configuration before ordering, especially for the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata, which is listed for vehicles without MacPherson strut. Confirm the front lower mounting pattern, bolt dimensions, and stud style against the original part before installation. After replacement, inspect alignment settings and suspension fasteners to restore proper handling and tire wear characteristics.
