Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the exact vehicle application against the fitment notes before installation. Some listings include pre-crimped metric nuts, high-performance engine notes, manual steering, power steering, or rally suspension exclusions, so confirm those details for the specific Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and other listed models. Professional steering alignment is recommended after replacement.
