Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-2262, avoid letting the CV drive axles hang unsupported to prevent damage. Use a torque wrench rather than an impact wrench to install the retaining nut, as impact tools can cause damage. Always replace the axle nut with a new self-locking nut and do not reuse the old prevailing torque lock nut. Inspect and replace transmission seals as needed during installation to prevent leaks.
