Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, model, and position before ordering, since fitment varies by left, right, and N/A applications. Compare the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, and socket style to the original support before installation. Confirm the mounting points are clean and undamaged so the plastic socket connections seat properly.
