Detailed Description

Cardone remanufactures CV drive axles with a focus on restoring OE geometry and consistent joint movement. For this Cardone CV axle assembly, the outer housing, race, and cage are reconditioned with precision grinding equipment to maintain the original design, while the shaft is individually verified for straightness. The result is a replacement axle for the Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon that supports smooth driveline operation and vibration-free performance across the speed range. Part number 60-3306 is a practical choice when replacing a worn front right CV axle on these compact front-wheel-drive vehicles.

This part cross-references Dodge and Plymouth OE numbers 4668954AC and 4668956AD for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured CV boot
• Front-end vibration or thumping caused by axle runout or joint wear
• Binding or harsh movement from an inner or outer joint issue
• ABS warning light concerns after axle replacement when sensor components are disturbed

Installation Notes and Tips

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, since that can damage the inner joint or separate the axle. Always replace the old prevailing-torque nut with a new one, and torque the spindle nut to manufacturer specifications with a torque wrench rather than an impact wrench. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals to help prevent leaks. If the hub-side stub shaft is seized, use an appropriate removal method to avoid damaging the hub or bearing.

Quality Assurance

Cardone’s remanufacturing process is built around verified shaft straightness, controlled boot sealing, and maintained joint geometry for dependable driveline performance. The brand’s process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
