Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle year, model, and front right lower position before ordering. This part uses a bolt-in, threaded mounting style and a tapered stud, so the existing suspension setup should be checked for matching dimensions and hardware interface. The greaseable design allows periodic lubrication after installation. Because fitment is specific, confirm compatibility with 1966-1972 Dodge Charger, 1970-1974 Dodge Challenger, or 1973-1976 Dodge Dart before service begins.
