What This Axle Shaft Helps Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint during turns
• Vibration caused by a damaged or imbalanced axle assembly
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
• ABS warning concerns related to a failed tone ring on the listed applications
• Driveline noise from excessive axle wear on the front right side

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, compressed length, and axle nut specifications before installation. Confirm front right placement and match the ABS tone ring configuration to the vehicle’s original setup. Inspect the hub, seals, and surrounding suspension components during replacement to help prevent repeat driveline issues. Torque the axle nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification and stake it as required by the application.
