Installation Notes

Verify rear left or rear right position, model year, and the 06/23/15 build cutoff before ordering. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and spline count against the original part, and inspect the hub, seals, and mating components during installation. Because this axle includes an ABS tone ring, make sure the sensor and ring orientation match the vehicle’s original setup.
