Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear fitment before ordering and confirm flange-to-flange dimensions against the original shaft. Inspect mounting points, yokes, and related driveline components for wear before installation. Because this assembly is pre-balanced and pre-greased, it is ready for standard replacement service once the vehicle is properly supported and the old shaft is removed.
