You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 545303S000 fits your vehicle.

Loosen the wheel lugnuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels to prevent rolling off the jackstands, then remove the wheels. Separate the balljoint from the steering knuckle. For Sephia and Spectra models, remove the fasteners that attach the balljoint to the control arm, using a prybar if necessary. The balljoint boot can be replaced if damaged, but a special tool is needed for installation; alternatively, take the balljoint to a qualified repair shop for service. For Sportage models, remove the balljoint cotter pin and nut, then take out the balljoint mounting fasteners and the balljoint itself. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring all fasteners are tightened to the specified torque values. Finally, install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lugnuts to the appropriate torque.
