Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle program is built around testing and engineering practices developed to address common failure points in original drive axles. For this application, the axle uses a neoprene boot design that helps resist ozone cracking and bellows stress, while the shaft is checked for runout to support vibration-free performance. The Cardone 66-1004 is a direct-fit front left CV axle assembly for 1983-1993 Buick Century, 1990-1990 Chevrolet Celebrity, 1990-1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV, 1983-1989 Chevrolet Celebrity, 1990-1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1987-1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, 1990-1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1983-1989 Pontiac 6000, and 1990-1991 Pontiac Trans Sport. This part cross-references OE numbers such as 7848168 and 26000330 for the same application.
