I purchased front axles from autozone and just want to make sure they are the right ones. I have ABS with a manual trans w/o LSD. My question is on the right side, I see the ABS ring, but on the left there is none. Does it require it or not? Also, are these manual axles?

Passenger Axle:



Drivers Axle:

 

Yesa both sides need the ring. Take it back and get one with the ABS ring installed.
Here is my VLSD manual drivers side axle with ABS

 

Yea take back the pass side axle and get one with the ABS ring on there. Give me a call tomorrow about installation

or pull the ABS ring off your old axle and put it on the new one.

 

That wont work...Its a totally different outer spline. Me and Tom found this out when they sent me the wrong axle

Really? Ive installed an ABS axle into a non abs car by just taking off the ring, never really thought about it much just assumed it would work the other way. Now that I think of it I guess without ABS either one would work. So, ya, dont do what I said, haha.

 

Is it recommended that you change both seals as well ? HAs any1 re-used there previous seals ?

 

Dude the seals are $17 total at Nissan. While your in there, New axles being installed, you get new seals. Its a No Brainer

yeah take it from me, I didnt replace mine when I had the tranny out..now after putting it back on and finding out its leaking before even driving it I have to pull it and put a new pass. seal in. I will put both pass and driver in when i pull it this time.

 

I just had my driver one replaced because it broke

 

thanks matt for the heads up..

 

both my axles are shot and i have a manaul, non-abs set up. can i just use any axle from 1995-99 maxima and I30? regaurdless of the transmission it came from??
