Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the rear suspension only. Verify the 10 mm end attachment size and male threaded end style before installation. Because this link is greaseable and includes a dust boot, inspect the grease fittings and boot condition during service and confirm the sway bar and mounting points are not worn or damaged. Use the vehicle-specific fitment listing to confirm application before ordering.
