Installation Notes

Verify rear right fitment by year, model, and production date before ordering, especially for 2014 and 2015 applications with date-specific notes.

Inspect the hub, differential side seal, and surrounding suspension components for wear so the replacement axle can seat correctly and operate smoothly.
