Common Issues This Part Addresses

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left lower position before installation and compare the new assembly to the removed part for alignment of mounting points and ball joint orientation. Because this unit uses a press-in ball joint design, proper suspension service procedures and alignment checks are recommended after installation. Confirm all fasteners are tightened to vehicle specifications and inspect adjacent suspension components for wear while the assembly is apart.
