Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear application, model year, and build date before ordering, especially for the 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport from 2/12. Confirm overall length, end types, and driveline configuration against the original shaft before installation. Because this assembly is pre-balanced, avoid altering the shaft or joints during handling and installation. Part number 986-529 should be matched to the vehicle’s rear driveline specification before final fitment.
