Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, always verify compatibility using your vehicle's VIN or the specific make/model/year lookup tool. Installation should be performed on a level surface using a jack and safety stands.

  1. Preparation: Remove the wheel and disassemble the old ball joint using a dedicated ball joint press or removal tool.
  2. Installation: Seat the TC170 firmly into the lower control arm and ensure the thread engagement matches the M14x1.5 specification.
  3. Torque: Tighten all hardware to the manufacturer’s recommended torque settings.
  4. Alignment: A professional wheel alignment is strongly recommended immediately following suspension work to ensure the geometry is correct.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the dust boot for tears or cracks to prevent debris from contaminating the internal grease.
