What You'll Need

• Replacement 3008 Ball Cups (typically includes 2 units)

Step-by-Step Replacement

1. Remove the Anti-Roll Bar: Carefully detach the anti-roll bar from your chassis. Consult your car's manual for specific instructions.

3. Install the New Ball Cups: Position the new ball cups onto the anti-roll bar links. Ensure a snug fit.
4. Reassemble the Anti-Roll Bar: Reattach the anti-roll bar to your chassis.
