Cardone 65-7025 Drive Shaft - Rear

Cardone 65-7025 Rear Driveshaft for Audi

Cardone 65-7025 is a new steel drive shaft engineered for OE-style form, fit, and function. Built for rear applications on select Audi A4 Quattro and Audi S4 models, it is 100% dynamically balanced at 3200 RPMs to support smooth driveline operation and reduced vibration.

The Cardone Driveshaft / Prop Shaft line focuses on tested materials and controlled manufacturing processes to deliver a longer-lasting replacement prop shaft. This rear driveshaft is measured from CV joint flange face to CV joint flange face and uses lubricated slip yokes to help reduce premature wear.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the measured length from CV joint flange face to CV joint flange face before installation. Confirm rear-position fitment and, for the 2004 Audi A4 Quattro, check VIN # 8E4030694 application details before ordering. Inspect related driveline components, including joints and mounting points, so the replacement shaft can be installed on a stable driveline system.
