Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is part of the Cardone CV Axle Assembly line, which focuses on remanufactured driveline components built from OE cores and re-engineered processes. For Audi A6 Quattro, Audi A8 Quattro, and Audi S8 front right service, part number 60-7074 is engineered to maintain proper grease flow, a secure boot seal, and stable operation at speed. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.

This part cross-references Audi 4D0407272AF and 4D0407272J for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage from a ruptured outer CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or imbalance
• Grinding noise from a worn outer CV joint
• ABS warning light concerns related to axle sensor ring damage or mismatch

Installation Notes

• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; support it to avoid inner joint damage.
• 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 servicing CV drive axles to help prevent leaks.
• If the hub stub shaft is seized, use an appropriate removal method rather than forcing the joint.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures CV drive axles with 100% runout inspection to help prevent vibration, and each shaft is verified for straightness before use. Pneumatic boot clamping, precision grinding of the outer housing, race, and cage, and durable neoprene boots are used to support consistent performance on Audi front right driveline applications.
