Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 66-7373 CV Axle Assembly, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage.

Always replace axle nuts with new hardware as reusing prevailing torque lock nuts is not recommended. Ensure the ABS ring is properly aligned to maintain sensor accuracy.
