Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-5281, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench to tighten the stake-type axle nut to manufacturer specifications; do not use an impact wrench for this step. Always replace the axle nut with a new one, as reusing a prevailing torque lock nut is not recommended. Inspect related seals and components during installation and replace as necessary to ensure proper sealing and longevity.
