⚠️ Installation & Safety Warning: Replacing rear knuckle bushings is a highly technical suspension procedure. CRITICAL:

Special Tool Required: Removing and installing pressed-in knuckle bushings requires a hydraulic bushing press tool or a specialized slide hammer puller. Do NOT attempt to hammer the bushing out, as this will damage the aluminum steering knuckle.
Suspension Alignment: Any work on the rear steering knuckle alters the suspension geometry. A professional 4-wheel alignment is MANDATORY after installation.
Stress Relief: Related suspension bolts must be torqued to specification with the vehicle at Ride Height (suspension loaded) to prevent premature bushing failure.
Inspect Knuckle: Before pressing in the new bushing, inspect the aluminum knuckle bore for scoring or corrosion. If damaged, the entire steering knuckle must be replaced.
