Installation Notes and Tips

This assembly uses a press-in ball joint mounting type and a pinch-style stud, so proper suspension service tools are required. Inspect related components such as tie rods, bushings, and alignment settings during replacement. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, confirm all required fasteners and service parts before beginning the job.
