What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or damaged CV axle shaft.
• Restoring smooth power transfer through the driveline.

Installation Notes

Verify front right fitment before installation and confirm axle length, spline count, and axle nut specifications against the original part. The ABS axle note indicates fitment for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, so application details should be matched carefully. Use the specified axle nut thread and hex size during service.
