Installation Notes and Tips

Install this part at the front outer steering position only. Verify thread direction, linkage condition, and alignment after replacement. Because the locking nut is included, confirm all mating components are clean and properly torqued during assembly. This part does not include a grease fitting, so service intervals should follow the sealed, pre-greased design.
