Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-1059, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent damage to the joints. 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 the axle nut with a new one, as reusing a prevailing torque lock nut is not recommended. Ensure the ABS ring is properly aligned to maintain accurate sensor readings.
