Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Hotchkis component fit my exact vehicle?
Match the year, make, and model in the Fitment table, then confirm chassis, suspension package, axle position, brake or spindle configuration, ride height, and every application note.
Does this listing include all required mounting hardware?
Package contents vary by part number. Confirm the title, specifications, and current Hotchkis instructions for bushings, brackets, joints, fasteners, spacers, and any factory hardware that must be reused.
Will installation require an alignment?
Plan for a professional alignment whenever control arms, links, ball joints, camber parts, springs, or mounting geometry are changed. Chassis braces and service parts may not require alignment when installed without disturbing adjustment points.
Installation Instructions
Follow current Hotchkis instructions and the vehicle service manual for part number 4012. Support the vehicle safely, preserve component orientation, use the specified lubricant and fasteners, torque every connection at the directed suspension position, confirm brake-line, tire, exhaust, and chassis clearance, test full suspension travel, align the vehicle when geometry changes, and recheck hardware after the initial drive.
