This video shows you how to install a new front left CV axle on your 2012-2018 Nissan Altima. A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 3 hours 0 minutes
