About the Cardone CV Axle Assembly Product Line

The Cardone CV Axle Assembly product line focuses on delivering complete axle assemblies that meet or exceed OEM specifications. These assemblies are designed to provide a direct replacement for worn or damaged CV axles, ensuring proper driveline operation and vehicle safety.

Detailed Product Description

This Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-7114 features a 22-inch compressed length suitable for specific Volkswagen models including the Cabrio, Golf, Jetta, and Passat. The axle uses a bolt-on input shaft connection with six bolts and a spline output shaft connection, ensuring a secure and precise fit. The self-locking axle nut eliminates the need for reusing prevailing torque lock nuts, which should always be replaced to maintain safety and performance. Note that this assembly does not include an ABS ring, so it is compatible with vehicles that do not require this component.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or damaged CV axles causing vibrations or noise
• Addresses clicking or grinding noises during turns or acceleration
• Fixes wheel wobble issues related to faulty axle components
• Restores driveline stability after axle boot ruptures or joint wear
• Eliminates front-end vibrations caused by unbalanced or defective shafts

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone CV Axle Assembly 60-7114, avoid letting the CV axles hang unsupported to prevent damage to the joints. Use a torque wrench to tighten the self-locking axle nut; do not use an impact wrench or hammer to install the retaining nut, as this can cause premature failure. Always replace the axle nut with a new prevailing torque lock nut and install new transmission seals when replacing the axle assembly. Follow the included instruction sheet carefully for proper installation procedures.
