Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle’s year, model, GVW, brake type, axle configuration, and serial number before installation. This part is specified for front right placement only, so confirm steering linkage orientation and compare the original drag link length and bar size before service. Use the included mounting hardware during installation and follow factory alignment procedures after replacement.
Quality Assurance
Mevotech manufactures steering and suspension components for service replacement applications, and the GDS796 is supplied pre-greased with a painted finish for corrosion-resistant appearance and easier initial setup. Confirm all fitment details against the vehicle build information before ordering.
