Do I need new fasteners or can I reuse the existing bolts?

Reuse your existing hardware — this assembly bolts directly to factory attachment points. Inspect old bolts for damage or corrosion before reinstalling.

Will I need an alignment after installation?

Yes. Anytime you replace suspension geometry components, a full front-end alignment is necessary to restore your factory camber, caster, and toe settings.

What tools do I need to swap this out?

Basic socket set, torque wrench, and a ball joint separator tool (or equivalent leverage tool) to disconnect the old assembly. Refer to your service manual for torque specifications on all fasteners.
