Hi,

I wasn't sure if it was a 2wd or 4wd. However, after I found the specs for the 4wd and compared the two, they are the same.

If you look below, I attached it for you. Also, this should have a castle nut on it. Make sure to securely install the cotter pin.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
