Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear lower rearward position before installation and confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, and model. Because this arm is not adjustable, final suspension geometry should be checked after installation. Inspect related rear suspension components, mounting points, and fasteners for wear before completing the repair.
