Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment by matching year, make, model, spline count, and compressed length before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style against the original hardware and hub specification. ABS-equipped vehicles should be checked for the correct tone ring configuration before service. Professional installation and a final road test are recommended after replacement.
