Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front upper suspension uses a 36 mm bar diameter before ordering. Confirm control arm dimensions against the listed inside diameter, outside diameter, length, and wall thickness to ensure proper service fit. Inspect adjacent suspension components during replacement so worn parts do not affect the new bushing’s performance.
