Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before purchase, always use a vehicle compatibility tool to verify the TL398 is designed for your specific car. During installation, ensure the vehicle is safely raised and supported on jack stands. The installation involves removing the old assembly and securing the new unit to the steering rack and steering knuckle. After installation, it is mandatory to have a professional four-wheel alignment conducted to prevent uneven tire wear and ensure vehicle safety. Periodically inspect the rubber boots on the assembly for tears or cracks, as these protect the internal joints from debris and moisture.
