Detailed Product Description

This Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-2161 features a compressed length of 34.375 inches, making it compatible with specific model years of the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. The axle uses a castle type locking nut, which provides secure fastening and is designed to be installed with a new nut rather than reusing the old one. Both input and output shafts utilize spline connections for reliable torque transfer. Note that this assembly does not include an ABS ring, so it is intended for vehicles without ABS sensor requirements on the axle.
