Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment before installation on the Ford Edge or Lincoln MKX. Transfer or source any required bearing, hub, ball joint, and installation hardware separately, since they are not included with Dorman 698-229. Confirm all mounting points, hole diameter, and bearing generation requirements against the vehicle’s original knuckle before assembly.
