Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my vehicle?
Match the complete year, make, model, and any listed submodel in the fitment table. Also verify every drivetrain, suspension, brake, and factory-equipment note stated by Ridetech for this part number before ordering.
Will the vehicle need an alignment?
Yes. Replacing a suspension or steering geometry component requires alignment verification, and a professional alignment should be completed before normal road use.
Installation Instructions
Support the vehicle and suspension, record the original alignment settings, and replace the specified linkage components one side at a time. Confirm joint orientation and clearance, torque pivot fasteners at ride height when instructed, then complete a professional alignment before normal driving.
Alignment Components
Shop alignment components, camber kits, caster kits, and adjustable control arms at Black Ops Auto Works. Find vehicle-specific parts for correcting suspension alignment or preparing a performance setup, including toe links, adjustment cams, camber plates, and replacement mounts. Choose components based on your vehicle, suspension configuration, and measured alignment needs. Camber, Caster, and Toe Correction Camber describes the inward or outward tilt of a wheel when viewed from the front. Caster describes the steering axis angle when viewed from the side. Toe describes whether the wheels point inward or outward when viewed from above. Each measurement has a different role, so the right correction part depends on which angle needs adjustment. This collection includes options from Black Ops Auto Works, AAD Performance, SPC Performance, Eibach, SuperPro, Whiteline, and other suspension brands. Adjustment capability varies by product. A camber kit does not automatically provide caster...
