Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle position, axle bolt requirement, and any chassis-serial or outside-diameter notes before installation. Confirm the 45 mm cone bore specification against the original part and inspect the hub, axle, and related mounting surfaces for wear before assembly. For Audi A4 Quattro, A6 Quattro, S4, and related models, matching the exact fitment notes is important for proper installation.
