Product Details
CARDONE driveshaft / prop shaft 65-7041 is engineered from the ground up using testing and material analysis focused on long-term driveline performance. This front drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for Mercedes-Benz C240 and C320 models from 2003-2005, as well as Mercedes-Benz C280 and C350 models from 2006-2007. The balanced steel construction helps reduce driveline vibration, while the lubricated slip yokes support smoother operation and reduced wear over time. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz 2034106106 for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Addresses
- Driveline vibration at highway speeds
- Clunking or shudder during acceleration
- Wear-related noise from the prop shaft assembly
- Loss of smooth power transfer from transmission to differential
- Fitment issues caused by incorrect shaft length or flange-to-flange measurement
Installation Notes and Tips
Measure from end of flange face to end of flange face to confirm the required 23 3/4 in. (603 mm) length before installation. Verify front-position fitment on the vehicle and compare the original shaft dimensions, tubing diameter, and mounting points to the replacement part. For Mercedes-Benz C240, C320, C280, and C350 applications, confirm the driveline configuration matches the listed model years before installation.
Quality Assurance
Each CARDONE prop shaft is engineered and built to OE performance expectations and dynamically balanced for vibration-free operation. The brand’s driveline testing and engineering process is focused on consistent fit and long-lasting service in Mercedes-Benz C-Class applications.
