Installation Notes and Tips
Verify spline count, compressed length, axle nut thread size, and ABS requirements before installation. This axle uses a female inboard connection and a conventional outboard connection, so matching the original configuration is important for proper fit. The included axle nut uses a 32.8 mm hex size and M27 x 2 thread. Confirm the vehicle is a front left application and compare the original axle to GM-8046 before assembly.
