Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 60-5238 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage.

Always replace axle nuts with new ones, as prevailing torque lock nuts should not be reused. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully for proper bolt torque specifications and alignment.
