Cardone 60-1004 CV Axle Assembly - Front Left

Remanufactured CV Axle for Front Left Applications

Cardone 60-1004 is a remanufactured CV axle assembly built for front left driveline service on select Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac vehicles. It is engineered for direct OE-style fitment and steady operation, with attention to boot sealing, joint geometry, and shaft straightness.

This Cardone CV axle assembly is a practical replacement for worn or noisy front axle shafts on vehicles such as the Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and Pontiac 6000. The 60-1004 part number is used for front left applications across multiple model years, including vehicles with a 24 mm diameter outboard spindle.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment part for direct vehicle fit
• Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped for a tight seal between the boot and housing
• CV axle shafts are inspected for runout to reduce vibration
• High-temperature, high-pressure grease supports joint durability
• Neoprene boots resist environmental stress and cracking
• Individually verified shaft straightness for smooth operation at speed
• Includes spindle nut and instruction sheet
• Self-lock axle nut style

Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle remanufacturing process focuses on restoring the original geometry of the outer housing, race, and cage so the joint can maintain proper grease flow and consistent movement. The sealed boot design helps keep contaminants out, while the verified shaft straightness supports vibration-free performance. This makes the 60-1004 a solid OE-style replacement for front left driveline repair on the Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and Pontiac 6000, among other listed applications.

This part cross-references Oldsmobile and Pontiac OE numbers 7848168 and 26000330 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or suspension area

• Install new transaxle seals when replacing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light appears after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.
