Axle Shafts: Notes

CAUTION: CV boot sealing is vital to retain lubricant and to prevent contaminants from entering CV joint. Allowing assemblies to dangle unsupported or pulling or pushing on axle ends can cut boots and/or damage CV joints. Axle shafts use no retention system to keep CV joint in CV housing. During removal and installation procedures, always support both ends of axle shaft to prevent damage or disengaging CV joint. DO NOT pull on axle shaft when attempting to remove axle shafts from vehicle.
