What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness or play in the suspension
• Clunking or knocking from worn ball joint components
• Uneven steering response caused by suspension wear
• Excess movement at the front lower control arm connection
• Restoration of proper suspension articulation on Kia Rio and Kia Soul models

Installation Notes and Tips

TC3404 uses a pressed mounting type and does not include mounting hardware, grease fitting, or a tapered stud. Verify the vehicle position before installation, since fitment varies between front and front lower applications. Always confirm the application against the vehicle’s suspension layout and service information before pressing the joint into place.
