Product Details and Specifications

This CV axle assembly features spline-style connections on both the input and output shafts, providing a secure and precise fit.

With a compressed length of 25.75 inches, this axle assembly is designed specifically for the Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer models. Note that this assembly does not include an ABS ring, so it is intended for vehicles without ABS sensor requirements.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 60-2184 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench to tighten the self-locking axle nut; do not use an impact wrench or hammer to install the retaining nut. Always replace any seals or related components as recommended during axle replacement to ensure proper sealing and function.
