Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-4001, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench to tighten the stake-type axle nut to factory specifications; do not use an impact wrench for this step. Always replace the axle nut with a new one, as prevailing torque lock nuts should not be reused. Ensure the ABS ring is properly seated to maintain accurate sensor readings.
