Installation Notes

Fits applications that use a press-in, threaded ball joint with a tapered stud. Verify the vehicle’s suspension design, stud dimensions, and wrench size before installation. Because this is a non-greaseable design, routine lubrication is not required. Use the included castle nut and mounting hardware during service, and confirm proper torque and alignment after installation. For Honda Civic and Acura Integra repairs, match the original OE configuration before pressing the joint into the control arm or knuckle.
