Mopar R5170822AA Axle Half Shaft

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if R5170822AA fits your vehicle.

To check the axleshaft bearing, raise the vehicle, remove the wheel and brake drum, and move the axle flange to check for wear. Look for differential lubricant leakage indicating a seal issue. To remove the axleshaft, drain the differential carrier, remove the lock bolt and shaft, and remove the C-lock. Carefully withdraw the axleshaft, avoiding oil seal damage. Reinstall in reverse order, using a new gasket and correct torque. Refill with correct lubricant. For a full-floating axleshaft, loosen lug nuts, raise the vehicle, remove the wheel and flange bolts, and pull out the axleshaft. Clean the flange, inspect and replace seals and bearings if needed. Install a new gasket, apply RTV sealant, and push the axleshaft into the housing. Install flange bolts and wheel, then lower the vehicle and tighten lug nuts.

Loosen the front wheel lug nuts and raise the front of the vehicle using jack stands. Detach the vent tube from the axle and seal it. Remove the drive axles and disconnect the driveshaft from the differential pinion flange. Remove the skid plate and suspension cross member. Disconnect the wiring from the stabilizer bar disconnect device. Support the axle assembly with a floor jack under the differential. Remove any remaining interfering wiring harness clips. Remove the axle assembly pinion mounting bolts and lower the jack to roll the axle assembly from under the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal. For solid axle, loosen the front wheel lug nuts and raise the vehicle using jack stands. Remove the front wheels and brake calipers and discs. Disconnect the vent hose and brake hose bracket. Mark the driveshaft and disconnect it from the differential pinion flange. Disconnect the stabilizer bar links and shock absorbers from the axle brackets. Disconnect the tie-rod and drag link from the steering knuckle. Support the axle assembly with two floor jacks. Disconnect the track bar and vibration damper from the axle bracket. Mark the alignment cams and remove the control arms from the axle bracket. Lower the jacks and remove the axle from under the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten all bolts to the torque.

To remove the Axle Shaft, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts, then raise and securely support the vehicle with jack stands, and remove the wheel(s). Next, remove the caliper and brake disc, and disconnect the ABS sensor, securing the sensor and wire harness aside. Proceed to remove the Axle Shaft/hub nut, using a pry bar between two wheel studs to prevent the hub from turning while loosening the nut. Support the lower control arm with a floor jack, slightly raising it to relieve the spring force on the upper control arm. Remove the shock absorber lower mounting bolt and the upper control arm ball joint nut, allowing you to separate the control arm from the steering knuckle. Utilizing a pry bar or slide hammer with a CV joint adapter, carefully pry the inner CV joint assembly from the front differential, ensuring not to damage the differential. Suspend the Axle Shaft with wire to prevent damage to the outer CV joint. Proceed to pull the steering knuckle out and away from the outer CV joint, using necessary tapping or pulling methods if the Axle Shaft is stuck. Once the Axle Shaft is free from the hub splines, pull out the hub/knuckle assembly, remove the support wire, and guide the Axle Shaft out from under the vehicle. For installation, reverse the removal steps, ensuring proper cleaning of splines and sealing surfaces, as well as applying grease to the inner tripod CV joint. When installing the Axle Shaft, push it in sharply to seat the set-ring on the splines of the inner CV joint and verify its proper seating. Tighten the Axle Shaft/hub nut and wheel lug nuts to specified torques and use a new upper ball joint-to-steering knuckle nut. Tighten the upper ball joint nut to the recommended torque.

Always make sure that an axle unit is exchanged for one of identical type and gear ratio.

The first step is to loosen the wheel lug nuts.

The brake lines should be disconnected from the clips and brackets on the axle housing.

The axleshaft should be carefully pulled from the axle housing.

After removing the hub-to-knuckle bolts, the hub bearing should be removed from the steering knuckle and axle-shaft.

For coil spring models, the wiring from the rear wheel speed sensors should be disconnected and the sensors should be unbolted and removed.

Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten all bolts to the torque.

The axle flange is secured by bolts on the end of the hub.

To check the bearing, raise the vehicle, support it securely on jack stands, and remove the wheel and brake drum. Try to move the axle flange up and down to determine if bearing wear is excessive.
