Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi TC404 ball joint requires removal of the old ball joint and proper alignment of the mounting holes. The included mounting hardware simplifies the process, but it is important to torque bolts and nuts to manufacturer specifications.

Ensure the dust boot is properly seated to prevent contamination and premature wear.
