Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the spindle, axle shaft, and bearing surfaces before installation. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and verify the seal is seated squarely to avoid premature leakage. Some listed applications require specific axle or differential configurations, such as limited-slip, non-limited-slip, Sterling axle, or Chrysler 8.25/9.25 axle setups, so confirm the exact rear axle specification before ordering.
