Installation notes and tips

Verify compressed length, shaft diameter, wall thickness, and end configurations before installation. Confirm rear-position fitment and, for 1991-1992 Ford F-150 applications, the 4.10 axle ratio note. Inspect mating surfaces and driveline hardware condition during replacement, and follow factory service procedures for alignment and torque specifications.
