Product Details and Specifications

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-1273, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent joint damage.

Always replace axle seals and follow the included instruction sheet for proper installation procedures. Factory balancing of the shaft reduces vibrations, but careful handling during installation is essential.
