Installation Notes

Compatible With 1973-1978 Cadillac Eldorado, front upper, and 1973-1978 Oldsmobile Toronado, front upper. Verify mounting-hole alignment, cotter pin engagement, and grease fitting access before final assembly. Because this is a bolt-on design, installation follows the vehicle’s original mounting pattern rather than a press-in style.
