Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, verify your vehicle's compatibility using the manufacturer's parts catalog, as this specific part is meant for the left side of the front axle only. Installation involves raising the vehicle, removing the wheel, and using appropriate suspension tools to detach the old ball joint without damaging the steering knuckle. Always clean the area of debris before installation. Once installed, it is mandatory to perform a wheel alignment to prevent premature tire wear and erratic handling. Regularly inspect the rubber boot for tears or grease leaks to ensure the internal joint remains lubricated and protected from moisture.
