Detailed Description

NI-8178 is a front left CV axle shaft engineered for the 1999-2002 Infiniti G20. It uses a male inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and the specified spline counts to match the original driveline layout. The axle also includes a toothed ABS ring with 44 teeth, which is important for vehicles equipped with wheel speed sensing at the axle.
