Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 60-1523 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench to tighten the stake-type axle nut to factory specifications; do not use an impact wrench for this step. Always replace axle nuts with new ones as prevailing torque lock nuts should not be reused. Inspect and replace any seals or related components during installation to ensure proper driveline sealing and performance.
