Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle is a 1987-1990 Mitsubishi Van with the front upper ball joint location before installation. Confirm the tapered stud, threaded body, and 12 mm wrench size match the original setup. Inspect the mounting points, surrounding bushings, and alignment settings during service, and perform a wheel alignment after replacement if suspension wear or component movement was present. Dorman 533-359 is a bolt-in style part, so proper torque and clean mating surfaces are important for a secure installation.
