Product Details and Specifications

This CV axle assembly features a 44-tooth ABS ring that works with the vehicle’s anti-lock braking system to provide accurate wheel speed data. The axle nut uses a castle locking type, which requires a cotter pin for secure fastening, preventing loosening during operation. The compressed length of 32.87 inches ensures proper fitment within the Nissan Maxima’s suspension and drivetrain layout. Both input and output shafts are splined, with 29 splines on the input shaft, allowing for a precise connection to the transmission and wheel hub.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or damaged CV axles causing clicking or grinding noises during turns
• Restores proper ABS sensor function when the ABS ring is damaged or missing
• Eliminates vibrations caused by unbalanced or bent axles
• Fixes wheel wobble issues related to faulty CV joints
• Addresses drivetrain shifting or clunking noises under acceleration

Installation Notes and Tips

• Never allow the CV axle to hang unsupported during installation to avoid joint damage
• Do not reuse the original axle nut; always install a new castle-type nut with a cotter pin
• Avoid using impact wrenches on the retaining nut to prevent over-tightening or damage
• Ensure the ABS ring is properly seated to maintain ABS sensor accuracy
• Inspect and replace transmission seals when installing the new CV axle assembly
