Cardone 60-3357 CV Axle Assembly - Front Right

Cardone CV Axle Assembly for Front Right Applications

Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-3357 is a remanufactured front right axle for select Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It is built for direct OE-style fitment and steady driveline performance on applications such as the Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Optima, and Kia Magentis.

Cardone’s CV axle remanufacturing process focuses on sealing, joint geometry, and shaft straightness to support smooth operation and long service life. This part number, 60-3357, is a spline-to-spline axle assembly with a compressed length of 38.1875 inches and no ABS ring included.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment part for direct vehicle fit
• Pneumatically crimped boot clamps create a tight seal at the boot and housing
• Precision-maintained ball groove geometry supports proper grease flow
• 100% run-out inspection helps reduce vibration at speed
• High-temperature, high-pressure grease supports joint durability
• Neoprene boots resist environmental stress and cracking
• Package contents: complete axle and instruction sheet

Product Details

Cardone’s CV Axle Assembly line is built around remanufactured OE cores and controlled reconditioning processes. For this application, the axle shaft is individually checked for straightness, while the outer housing, race, and cage are restored using precision grinding methods to maintain original geometry. The result is a front right driveline component intended to deliver smooth power transfer in everyday driving conditions.

This part cross-references Hyundai 4950838E00 and Kia 4950038450 for the same application. Use Cardone 60-3357 when servicing a front right CV axle on 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, 2001-2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2001-2006 Kia Optima, or 2001-2004 and 2006 Kia Magentis.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage around a torn outer CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer CV joint
• Driveline shudder from a damaged or contaminated axle assembly

Installation Notes

• Fits 2006 Kia Magentis, front right; 2001-2004 Kia Magentis, front right; 2001-2006 Kia Optima, front right; 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, front right; and 2001-2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, front right.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Always install a new prevailing-torque lock nut and torque it to manufacturer specifications.
• Replace transaxle seals during CV axle service to help prevent leaks.
• If the vehicle uses ABS sensing at the axle, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and wiring before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures CV drive axles with controlled inspection and reconditioning steps aimed at consistent fit and vibration-free operation. The process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
