About the Cardone CV Axle Assembly Product Line

The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line focuses on remanufactured driveline components that meet OEM specifications. Each axle is inspected 100% for run out to prevent vibrations and ensure balanced operation.

Product Details and Specifications

This Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-2153 features spline-style input and output shaft connections, ensuring compatibility with the driveline components of Ford Aviator, Explorer, and Mercury Mountaineer models. The axle nut uses a self-locking design, eliminating the need to reuse prevailing torque lock nuts, which can compromise safety. With a compressed length of 26 inches, this assembly fits the specified vehicles without modification. Note that this assembly does not include an ABS ring, so it is intended for vehicles where the ABS sensor ring is not required or is reused.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-2153, avoid letting the CV drive axles hang unsupported to prevent joint damage. Use a torque wrench rather than an impact wrench to install the retaining nut, and always replace the axle nut with a new self-locking nut to ensure secure fastening. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully for proper installation procedures. Additionally, when replacing CV axles, it is recommended to install new transmission seals to prevent leaks.
