Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Removal: Use a penetrating lubricant on the existing nuts if they show signs of corrosion. Hold the ball joint stud stationary while unscrewing the fastening nut.
  3. Installation: Fit the new link ensuring the 236 mm length is correctly oriented. Use the provided fastening material to secure the link to the stabilizer bar and the control arm.
