Detailed Description

Dorman 526-956 is a suspension replacement assembly for the rear lower forward position on select Hyundai Nexo, Hyundai Azera, and Kia Cadenza models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and rear lower forward position before ordering. Because this assembly uses a bolt-on attachment and a threaded ball joint stud, follow factory service procedures for fastener torque and alignment checks after installation. Inspect adjacent suspension components, including mounting points and related bushings, before reassembly.
