Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle assembly line is engineered from testing and remanufacturing experience focused on the causes of repeat CV joint failure. The boot design addresses ozone cracking and bellows stress, while the shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain smooth operation at speed. Part number 66-1055 is a direct-fit driveline replacement for vehicles that require a front right CV axle with ABS ring integration.

This part cross-references Buick 7842344 and Chevrolet 7847624 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, as this can separate the axle and damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench to install the retaining nut to manufacturer specifications, and replace the prevailing torque lock nut rather than reusing the old one. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals to help prevent leaks.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs its CV drive axles around known failure modes and verifies each shaft for straightness to support vibration-free operation at all speeds. The axle is supplied new and includes the components listed in the product data for a straightforward replacement process.
