Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-6178, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent joint damage.

Always inspect and replace transmission seals as needed during axle replacement to prevent leaks. Ensure the ABS ring is properly seated to maintain accurate sensor readings and prevent ABS warning lights.
