Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the front left position, spline count, and axle bolt specifications before installation. This axle is listed for 2004 Mazda 3 front left and 2005 Mazda 3 front left; the 2005 application notes the outboard joint retained by bolt. Verify whether the vehicle uses ABS-related components before ordering, since the ABS tone ring is not included. Use the correct axle bolt and torque procedures for the vehicle service specification.
