Installation Notes
Fits 2000-2001 Infiniti I30, front left, and 2001 Nissan Maxima, front left. Always confirm spline count, ABS ring configuration, and compressed length before installation. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, and do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. Use a torque wrench to tighten the retaining nut to manufacturer specifications. When replacing the axle, install new transaxle seals to help prevent leaks.
