AI caption · Photo 479 of 515

This document is step 15 of an assembly instruction sheet showing an exploded parts diagram. It depicts the installation of a suspension link (part AX80016, quantity marker 1) onto an axle housing, secured by a screw (part AXA867) that threads into a mounting boss on top of the axle — this attachment point is emphasized with a hand-drawn red circle and arrow, apparently added by the uploader to highlight the specific fastener location in question. The diagram also shows a telescoping driveshaft with a universal joint being inserted into the axle input shaft, along with a small part (AXA180) that receives thread lock, indicated by a 'THREAD LOCK' tube icon and an application arrow. A reader can learn the three part numbers used in this step (AX80016, AXA867, AXA180), the orientation and insertion direction of the driveshaft, where thread lock must be applied, and exactly which screw boss on the axle housing the link attaches to. The part number prefixes (AX/AXA) and drawing style indicate this is from an Axial R/C vehicle instruction manual rather than a full-size automotive service document; no year, model, or torque values are stated.
