Detailed Product Description

This CV axle assembly features a self-locking axle nut to ensure the axle remains securely fastened during operation, reducing the risk of loosening under torque.

The input and output shafts use spline connections with 28 and 27 splines respectively, providing a precise mechanical interface for smooth power transfer.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-1418, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent joint damage.
