Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, it is critical to verify compatibility using your vehicle's specific PR number, as VAG group vehicles often have varying suspension setups. Always replace ball joints in pairs to ensure even wear on both sides of the front axle. After installation, a professional four-wheel alignment is mandatory to reset your suspension geometry and prevent uneven tire wear. Periodically inspect the rubber boot for cracks or tears, as compromised grease seals are the most common cause of premature ball joint failure.
