Installation Notes

Verify spline count, axle length, and connection style before installation. This axle uses a male inboard connection and an Audi-style spline bolt outboard joint, so matching the original hardware and hub interface is important for proper fit. ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and this unit does not include an ABS tone ring.
