Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm front left fitment before installation on the 2013-2019 Ford Escape. Verify axle length, spline count, and axle nut thread size against the removed part before assembly. Because the axle nut is included, use the correct M22 x 1.5 self-locking nut and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications during installation.

Inspect the hub, seals, and surrounding suspension components before installing the new axle. If the vehicle is equipped with ABS, confirm whether the application requires a tone ring, since this axle does not include one.
