Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 66-5216 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Do not use an impact wrench to tighten the retaining nut; instead, use a torque wrench to apply the correct torque. 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 seated to maintain accurate sensor readings.
