Cardone CV Axle Assembly Line

Cardone remanufactured CV drive axles are re-engineered to preserve the original housing, race, and cage geometry while improving durability through controlled remanufacturing processes. For Chevrolet Metro, Geo Metro, and Suzuki Swift front left axle replacement, Part Number 60-1316 is built to restore proper grease flow, seal integrity, and smooth driveline operation.

This part cross-references Suzuki (e.g., 4410251G11) for the same application.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn outer boot
• Front-end vibration during takeoff or at speed
• Grinding or noise from a worn CV joint
• ABS warning light caused by damaged sensor components during axle service

Installation Notes and Tips

• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install a new nut during replacement.
• Replace transaxle seals when installing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• If the hub stub shaft is seized, use an appropriate removal method to avoid damaging the hub assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured CV drive axles are 100% inspected for runout to help prevent vibration, and each shaft is individually verified for straightness. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
