Installation Notes and Tips
Verify left or right position before ordering, since fitment varies by vehicle and model year. Confirm the tapered arm attachment, mounting hole diameter, and stud thread size match the original steering linkage before installation. Inspect related steering components such as the center link, pitman arm, and tie rod ends during service to avoid repeat repairs.
