Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front left lower position before installation. The threaded, bolt-in design requires proper alignment of the tapered stud and correct torque on the mounting points. Because no grease fitting is included, this is a sealed-style service part. Inspect adjacent suspension components, including the control arm and steering knuckle, for wear before completing the repair.
