Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front-position fitment before installation and confirm the vehicle build date for 2003 applications. Check shaft length, diameter, and mounting points against the original unit before removal. Because the assembly is adjustable in overall length, final setup should match the vehicle’s driveline requirements and be checked after installation.
