Part Details
Product Features
TRQ drivetrain kits are manufactured using premium raw materials to restore original performance. Each TRQ drivetrain component is designed to be a direct, maintenance-free replacement to the stock unit. To extend the service life of your drivetrain, TRQ recommends replacing wheel hubs, bearings, and constant velocity (CV) drive axles at the same time to ensure even wear of components and improved ride comfort. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.
CV axles are designed to transmit the power from your vehicle's drivetrain to the wheels while being able to flex and pivot to the demands of the steering and suspension systems. If your vehicle is making clicking noises at lower speeds or when making turns, it may be time to replace your CV axles with our 100% brand new assemblies.
What are Tapered Bearings and Why Use Them? Tapered bearings use rollers shaped like flat-topped cones and two races angled from the outside in of the bearing. This angle makes the bearing better at handling forces exerted on the bearing during cornering (known as axial load) in trucks and large cars. Your model came from the factory with tapered bearings. Roller ball bearings work well for smaller cars, but replacing a tapered bearing with a roller ball bearing increases wear and failure.
Our steering and suspension components are pre-greased and sealed for long life and do not require the extra maintenance typically required by greaseable versions.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a front axle on this 2004 Ford F150. It's pretty much the same for any 2004 to 2010. This is a 4 wheel drive. You're going to need new axles from 1AAuto.com. We show you the right hand or passenger side axle; the left hand driver's side axle is the same procedure. You'll also need jack and jack stands; pry bar; pliers; 13, 24, and 30 millimeter sockets; a ratchet and a breaker bar; a pipe for some leverage; a 12 millimeter, 12 point socket and ratchet; and a torque wrench.
To start out, raise and support the vehicle securely and then remove your center cap. We remove the cap on the end of the hub. With a 13 millimeter socket, I remove the nut on the end of the axle. Where the end of your CV joint meets the solid axle, there's going to be six 12-point, 12 millimeter bolts. I'm using a 12-point socket to remove those. We're just going to do some fast forwarding here, and you can basically hold on to the tire, or you could have somebody hold the brakes for the vehicle. Loosen up those bolts and remove them. I'm going to remove the bolt with a 30 millimeter socket that holds in the lower part of the strut assembly, so that we can get more room to pull the CV shaft out. I'm going to fast forward here as we remove that nut and bolt. Once you get the nut loosened up you can tap it with a hammer a few times, and make sure that the bolt is loose and will come out. I'm going to use a pry bar and pry out the lower end of the strut assembly from the lower control arm. While I was prying on the lower part of the strut assembly I was able to pull the CV shaft past this. Now I'm going to pull the shaft out. Okay, and we'll just speed up here. Work the axle out and then you actually have to work the lower strut mount out. You can see we'll use a pry bar, and get that moved out of the way and then the axle comes right out.
I'm sliding the CV joint back into place. Now, with the wheel all the way turned out I'm going to go ahead and rescecure where the strut goes into the lower control arm. Then once you get that back in place use the bolt or you can also use a screw driver or a lineup tool, get the hole to line up, get the bolt through, put the nut on the back side, and then tighten it up. You want to tighten that bolt up to about 95 to 100 foot pounds. I'm going to line up the holes on the CV shaft with the solid axle and reinstall the 12 millimeter, 12-point bolts. Once again, we'll fast forward here. We install the bolts first by hand. Make sure they're turning in there and you're not cross-starting any of the bolts. Then tighten them up kind of preliminarily. Then what you want to do is use a cross pattern. Tighten one up, and you want to tighten them to about 25 foot pounds. Tighten one up and then, go to the opposite one, tighten that one up, and just keep with that pattern until they're all tight.
I'm reinstalling the 13 millimeter nut on the end of the axle, CV shaft. Reinstall the cap, and align your center hub cover, the pin here and the hole there.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a front axle on this 2005 Ford F-150 with 4-wheel drive. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this is a new front axle from 1AAuto.com, an 8mm, 13mm, and 21mm socket and ratchet, a piece of pipe for some extra leverage, a 12mm 12-point socket, an 18mm and 21mm wrench, pliers, pry bar, hammer, torque wrench, and jack and jack stands.
Start off by prying off the hub cap. Then loosen up these lug nuts using a 21mm socket and ratchet and a piece of pipe for some extra leverage. Once you get each of them loosened up, you can raise the vehicle and remove them the rest of the way. Now pull the wheel off.
Turn the wheel and then remove this 21mm nut at the top of your outer tie rod. Once you remove it, you want to just put it back on just a couple threads. Now hammer the knuckle until the outer tie rod drops down. Now you can remove that nut, and just set your outer tie rod off to the side.
Using a pair of pliers remove this cap and then loosen up and remove that 13mm nut. Then you just want to put it back on, just a few threads, tap it with a hammer and make sure it goes through. Then remove the nut the rest of the way. On the other end of the axle there's a series of 12mm bolts. You just need to use a 12mm 12-point socket and then a pry bar to hold the wheel and just loosen those up. We'll fast-forward as Mike removes all six of those. When you remove that last one, just push the axle down to the side.
Now spray this 21mm nut up here on the bottom of your upper control arm, and then remove that nut and put it back on just a few threads. With the nut back on a few threads, just hammer the wheel knuckle until the upper control arm loosens up. Now just lift up on the wheel knuckle and then remove that nut. You can just set the wheel knuckle off to the side carefully. You don't want it to strain those brake hoses. Then just tap the axle and pull it out of the wheel knuckle. You want to feed the axle towards the left side, towards the front of the vehicle. Just angle it down and pull it down and out.
On the bottom is the old front axle; above it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Making sure they're tightened. Now you can remove the jack and feed your axle back into place. You want to feed it back in the same way that you pulled it out.
Now you can take your upper control arm and push it back into the wheel knuckle. Once you push it through, just put that 21mm nut on there to hold it in place. Line up the axle and replace those 12mm bolts. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Now tighten each of those to 60 foot-pounds in a crossing pattern. You can see we torqued that one. Then you want to turn the wheel until you get the one on the opposite side. Then torque that one. You want to just repeat this process with each of them. Now replace this 13mm nut and torque it to 20 foot-pounds. Then replace that cap and just tap it into place.
If any of the lines on the back came undone, make sure you push them back in and re-clip them. Then push your outer tire rod up to the wheel knuckle and replace the nut. Then torque that to 111 foot-pounds. Now just tighten up this bolt on your upper control arm. If the stud spins, use a 10mm socket and ratchet. Then you want to torque this to 111 foot-pounds. Then tighten up the nut on the bottom of your sway bar link. Jack up underneath the lower control arm to simulate a wheel being in place. Torque the lower strut bolt to 150 foot-pounds.
Now we'll fast-forward as Mike replaces the wheel and replaces the lug nuts and tightens them preliminarily. Then he lowers the vehicle and tightens them the rest of the way. Then torque each of them in a crossing pattern to 120 foot-pounds. Then just replace your hubcap and you're all set.
