Mopar R5170822AA Axle Half Shaft

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

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.

You can remove the inner CV joint assembly from the front differential by using a pry bar or slide hammer with a CV joint adapter.

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

The axleshaft is typically removed when the bearing is worn or the seal is leaking. 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. Additionally, check for differential lubricant leaking out from below the axleshaft, as this indicates a leaking seal. To remove the axleshaft, remove the cover from the differential carrier and allow the lubricant to drain. Remove the lock bolt from the differential pinion mate shaft and remove the shaft. Push in the outer end of the axleshaft and remove the C-lock from the inner end. Withdraw the axleshaft, being careful not to damage the oil seal. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to use a new cover gasket and tightening the cover bolts to the specified torque. Refill the axle with the correct lubricant. For a full-floating axleshaft, loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the wheel and axleshaft flange bolts. Pull out the axleshaft and clean the flange mating surface. Inspect and replace the hub and bearing seals and bearings if necessary. Slip a new gasket over the end of the axleshaft and slide it into the axle housing. Apply RTV sealant to the gasket mating surface of the hub and place the new gasket in position. Push the axleshaft into the axle housing until the splines are fully engaged with the differential. Install the flange bolts and tighten them to the specified torque. If the wheel was removed, install it and the lug nuts, then lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.

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

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.
