Product Details

Cardone Driveshaft / Prop Shaft line products are engineered from extensive testing and material analysis to deliver consistent driveline performance. The Cardone 65-3059 is a new front drive shaft for the Dodge Nitro, designed to replace worn or damaged OE units while maintaining proper balance and driveline geometry. This part cross-references Dodge (e.g., 52853363AB, 52853363AC) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Driveline vibration at highway speeds
  • Clunking or shudder during acceleration
  • Wear related to a damaged or out-of-balance front prop shaft
  • Noise caused by worn slip yoke lubrication
  • Loss of smooth power transfer in the front driveline

Installation Notes

Fits 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro, front. Verify the measurement method before installation: end of flange face to end of CV joint flange face. Confirm tubing diameter, length, and flange configuration against the original shaft before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone prop shaft is built and balanced to OE-style specifications, with dynamic balancing performed to support smooth, vibration-free operation and longer joint life. New condition and greasable construction add serviceability for routine driveline maintenance.
