Question swaping rear D44 axles
sorry if this has been covered before but ive tried searching and cant find what im looking for. i got in a accident last night and tweaked my passenger rear axle a little so i order a new set of the superior axles from quadratec. my question is other than having the bearings pressed is there anything special i need to do to replace my stock axle shafts. thanks in advance

You will also need to swap the "Tone Ring" from the factory axles to the new axles. (I dont believe Superior supplies them)

The tone ring goes before the bearing.
