Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify front right fitment against the vehicle’s year, make, model, and notes before ordering.
• Confirm whether the vehicle is ABS or non-ABS; this axle does not include an ABS tone ring.

• Check spline count, compressed length, and joint style against the original axle before installation.
• Follow factory torque specifications and inspect related seals, hubs, and mounting points during service.
