Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 60-2179 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage.

Follow the included instruction sheet carefully for proper alignment and torque specifications. Inspect seals and replace if necessary to maintain drivetrain integrity.
