Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front right lower suspension configuration before installation. Compare the original arm, bushing layout, and ball joint mounting style to confirm match-up on Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, GMC Acadia Limited, or Saturn Outlook applications. Because the assembly is pre-greased and includes the ball joint, it is ready for installation once the mounting points are aligned and torqued to specification.
