An axle disconnect clutch includes an axle shaft, a tulip for a constant velocity joint, and a sliding sleeve. The sliding sleeve includes a first inner spline and a first outer spline, radially aligned with the first inner spline. One of the axle shaft or the tulip includes a second inner spline, and the other one includes a second outer spline. The sliding sleeve is axially slidable along a one of the first inner spline or the first outer spline to engage the other of the first inner spline or the first outer spline with the second outer spline or the second inner spline, respectively, rotationally connecting the axle shaft and the tulip. In an example embodiment, the sliding sleeve has an undulating profile, and a number of inner spline teeth of the first inner spline is equal to a number of outer spline teeth of the first outer spline.
