Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front upper position before ordering. This bushing kit does not include mounting hardware. Because control arm bushings are pressed-fit suspension components, proper removal and installation tools are recommended, along with a suspension inspection after service. Confirm alignment condition after replacement, especially on Chevrolet Caprice, Buick Roadmaster, and related GM applications.
