Since the shaft length is fixed and non-adjustable, verify fitment with the Land Rover LR3 or LR4 model year before installation. The drive shaft does not include an axle nut, so retain the original hardware or source separately. No grease fittings are present, so no additional lubrication is necessary during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman manufactures this drive shaft to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
