Product Details and Specifications

This CV axle assembly features a 44-tooth ABS ring included to maintain proper ABS sensor operation, critical for modern vehicle safety systems. The axle nut locking type is standard, which means it uses a conventional locking mechanism rather than a prevailing torque nut, allowing for proper torque application during installation. The input shaft is splined with 29 splines, ensuring a secure connection to the transmission, while the output shaft is also splined for reliable engagement with the wheel hub. The 25.5-inch compressed length matches OEM dimensions, ensuring proper fit and function in Nissan Altima and Maxima drivetrains.
