About the Cardone CV Axle Assembly Product Line

The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line focuses on delivering quality replacement CV components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes precision balancing and thorough inspection to reduce vibrations and ensure consistent driveline operation.

Product Details and Specifications

This CV axle assembly features a self-locking axle nut designed to maintain secure fastening without the need for a prevailing torque lock nut, which should never be reused. The 21-inch compressed length ensures compatibility with the specified GM models, while the bolt-on input shaft connection with six bolts and a 33 spline output shaft connection provide a robust and reliable drivetrain link. Note that this assembly does not include an ABS ring, so it is intended for vehicles where ABS sensor rings are not required or are reused.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Resolves vibrations and wheel wobble during turns
• Addresses clicking sounds when accelerating or turning
• Fixes issues related to ruptured outer CV boots

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-1009, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench to tighten the self-locking axle nut; do not use an impact wrench or hammer to install the retaining nut. Always replace transmission seals when installing new CV axle assemblies to prevent leaks. Ensure the sensor ring and related components are properly aligned if applicable.

Each Cardone CV Axle Assembly undergoes 100% run-out inspection to minimize vibrations and ensure smooth operation. The shafts are factory balanced to maintain driveline stability.
