Quick cv axle install question

[Jc12]

Hey guys. I just pulled my old axle out and am about to put the new one in buy noticed this washer on the outer most portion. I didn't see this one the old axle .. Does it go on the inward (diff side) and mount in the hub? Thanks for any quick replies

I didnt use the washer as it would keep the splines from entering the hub. I assume this axle has other platforms than our truck where they might use it? PLEASE let me know if I made a mistake haha. Thanks

You should be good to go. I cannot remember a washer, but I replaced my CVs in 2009.

I have never seen a washer used, Toyota doesn't use it from the factory....so definitely throw it away.

x3 my last one came with a washer. Asked the guys at NAPA if they knew anything about it when I went to return my core and they were clueless. Chuck it. Not sure what it's for.

Can't tell you how many cv axles I've replaced and not once have I seen that washer/spacer. Dunno what it's for?!

Same. Don't know how that would go on as it would prevent you from getting the splines all the way in.

thanks for the replies guys, very much appreciated! i only ended up doing the one side for now, i didnt find it hard just frustrating getting the axle back in place.. i quickly realized its alllll about having the proper tools (aka BFH and proper pry/wrecking bar).

i was also going to do my LBJ.. but i called the local dealership and they wanted $165 a PIECE!! ill just have to ship them in from good ol us of a
