Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 60-5408 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench to tighten the stake-type axle nut to the manufacturer's specifications; do not use an impact wrench for this step. Always replace axle nuts with new ones, as reusing prevailing torque lock nuts is not recommended. Inspect and replace any related seals or transmission components as needed during installation.
