Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the axle nut is torqued to manufacturer specifications and properly staked to secure the locking mechanism. Verify the correct orientation of the male inboard joint and conventional outboard joint during installation. Inspect the neoprene boot for any damage before installation to maintain joint protection. The overall compressed length of 26.56 inches (674.5 mm) should match the vehicle’s original axle shaft for proper fitment.
