Manufacturer InstructionsInstallation of a Trailer Hitch on a 2007 Kia Rondo
Today we are going to install part number 24797 on our 2007 Kia Rondo. This also applies to part number 60874. Before we start our install anything we have to lower the exhaust right here. That requires taking off the rubber hanger here and the one on the backside here and there is one more towards the front. We installed this strap here so that when we bring the exhaust down it will be held in place by the straps. What we will do is spray the hangers with WD40 so that they slide off the exhaust a little easier. The other item here is the shipping bracket right here. It has to come off and stay off for the hitch install. What we need to do is take off these bolts on the end of the frame rail of these 2 and the bottom one on the drivers side.
From here we can go ahead and hang the hitch putting one end over the muffler and the other end we will put a bolt in to hold it in place. At this point you want to go ahead and install the rest of the bolts and leave them loose. Now go ahead to the other side and finish the rest of them off. With the hitch up and in place we have a little bit of play from side to side. Just make sure you can center it the best you can with that and snug the bolts up into place. Now we have the hitch the way we want it on the frame. We will go ahead and give them the final torque. Here at this point we can reinstall our heat shield and exhaust. That covers our install of part number 24797 on our 2007 Kia Rondo
