Installation Notes

Confirm front left fitment by matching the vehicle year, model, and mount style before removal of the original unit. Inspect related suspension components such as springs, mounts, and bushings during service, and compare compressed length, extended length, and mounting configuration to the existing strut. Professional installation and a post-service alignment are recommended after strut replacement.
