Installation / Use / Maintenance Tips

• Compare the new bush to the removed unit before installation to confirm inner and outer diameter and length match.
• Inspect the control arm, ball joint, mounting hardware, and anti-roll bar link before fitting the new bush.
• Clean mounting surfaces and ensure correct orientation during pressing.
• Tighten the bonded bush fastener at normal ride height where applicable.
• Check wheel alignment after installation - control arm bush replacement affects suspension geometry.
