Replaced axle but the ABS tone ring peeks out slightly. Is this ok? Everything was installed as far as it can go.

Make sure your ABS light doesn't come on. If it stays good then I see no problem.

Be warned sometimes on certain cars there might be vibrations at idle or stop with 3rd party front axles… so might be fine for you but if you get a vibration at idle or stop that’s the issue. You will know once you test it out.

Looks good!
As long as the nut is torqued to spec.
Check the other side and compare?
So this one is an Oreilly Axle and the other side is OEM. the oem one doesnt have the tone rings peeking...which is why I felt I had to ask to ensure that this was okay.
The replacement axle went in just fine and it clicked into the tranny fine and is fully seated....
Should be good then, not all parts are made equal sometimes
