If unsure, contact customer support for assistance. Cross-reference numbers include BORG & BECK BBJ5035, FEBI BILSTEIN 11991, FIRST LINE FBJ5035, LEMFORDER 030 299 001 536, MONROE L0710, and MOOG FD-BJ-0336.

Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic following the vehicle manufacturer's service manual. This involves safely lifting the vehicle, removing the wheel, and carefully detaching and replacing the old ball joint. Proper torque specifications for the nut and fastener must be followed. Alignment checks are highly recommended after installation.

Care: Ball joints are sealed components and generally require no routine maintenance. However, inspect the dust boot for any tears or damage during regular vehicle checks, as this can allow contaminants to enter and accelerate wear. Keep the surrounding suspension components clean.
