Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment before ordering for your Audi Cabriolet or Audi 90. Confirm axle bolt thread size, bolt hex size, spline count, and compressed length against the original part. ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle configuration.

Inspect mating surfaces, hub splines, and flange interfaces during installation. Torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and check for proper axle seating after installation.
