Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly, part number 60-2016, is remanufactured to restore proper power transfer from the transaxle to the wheel on Ford Festiva applications. Cardone’s remanufacturing process focuses on maintaining original housing, race, and cage geometry, while verified shaft straightness helps support smooth operation at speed. This part cross-references Ford E8BZ3B437A and F0BZ3B437C for the same application.

For drivers searching for a Ford Festiva front left CV axle assembly, Cardone 60-2016 provides an OE-style replacement built around sealing, grease retention, and consistent joint movement. It is a practical choice when the original axle shows wear, noise, or vibration.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage from a ruptured axle boot
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle runout or imbalance
• Grinding or binding from joint wear or contamination
• Driveline noise after axle damage on a Ford Festiva front left application

Installation Notes

• Fits 1988-1993 Ford Festiva, front left.
• 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 manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install a new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when installing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light is present after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and wiring near the axle.
