Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed on a level surface using a hydraulic lift or jack stands. Ensure the vehicle is properly supported before removing the wheel or original suspension components.

  1. Secure the vehicle and remove the front wheel.
  2. Use a ball joint separator to safely detach the joint from the steering knuckle.
  3. Remove the mounting bolts securing the arm to the vehicle frame.
  4. Install the Delphi TC3553, torqueing all fasteners to the manufacturer’s specified settings.

After installation, it is mandatory to have the vehicle professionally aligned to prevent rapid tire wear. Periodically inspect the rubber dust boots on the integrated ball joint for cracks or grease leaks to maintain longevity.
