Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front left lower position before installation. This assembly includes the ball joint, bushings, and mounting hardware, and it is not adjustable. Because the ball joint is already installed and the unit is pre-greased, installation focuses on removing the worn assembly and torquing fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. An alignment should be performed after replacement.
