When you receive the axle:
Make sure to grease up the axle set. You can fill up the empty space with diff grease surrounding the bevel gear and input shaft.
The gear positions are factory setup and should be ready to go. Rotate the drivetrain by hand for physical inspection.
Install spacers accordingly between the center driveshaft and the input shaft to prevent input shaft from unnecessary slop.
To setup this BRX80 front axle similar to the BRX01 stock axles, these two parts are:
- Steel Leaf Spring Channel w/ Shock Mount for BRX70 / BRX90 Axle (2) BRLC7002/B
- Aluminum Knuckle Arm (Low Profile) for BRX70 / BRX90 Knuckle (2) BRLC7010
