Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread size, and sleeve length against the original part before installation. This sleeve uses a bracket mounting method and two female ends, so both tie rod ends must match the listed configuration. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to confirm steering wheel center and toe settings. Confirm vehicle-specific notes such as axle rating or front-left placement where listed, especially on Dodge D200 and D300 truck applications.
