Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper function, always check your vehicle's current OE part number against the following cross-reference list: 32106774361, 32106776946, 32216756369, 6756369, 6774361, and 6776946.

Installation steps include:

  1. Secure the vehicle on jack stands or a lift.
  2. Remove the front wheel to access the steering knuckle.
  3. Disconnect the old tie rod end using a specialized tie rod separator.
  4. Thread the new V20-0545 component to the same depth as the old one to maintain temporary alignment.
  5. Tighten all hardware to the torque settings specified in your vehicle's service manual.
  6. Important: Schedule a professional four-wheel alignment immediately following installation to prevent uneven tire wear and ensure safe handling.

Regular maintenance involves visual inspections for torn dust boots or grease leakage during routine oil changes.
