Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-9313, avoid letting the axle shafts hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench to tighten the stake-type axle nut to the manufacturer’s specifications; do not use an impact wrench for this step. Always replace axle nuts with new ones, as prevailing torque lock nuts should not be reused. Ensure the ABS ring is properly seated to maintain accurate sensor readings.
