What It Helps Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder under acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn boot conditions that can lead to grease loss and joint wear
• Front driveline noise in Mercedes-Benz GL and ML models
• Axle replacement needs after spline, joint, or shaft wear

Installation Notes

• Verify the vehicle’s exact year, model, and package details before ordering.
• Fitment includes front left applications only and varies by Off Road Package and build date on some ML models.
• Confirm the axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style before installation.
• ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the catalog data.
• Inspect mating seals, hub splines, and related suspension components during replacement.
