Product Details

Cardone 66-1106 is engineered as a direct replacement CV axle assembly for front left driveline service. The design focuses on the common causes of CV axle failure, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration from shaft runout. For 1998 Chevrolet Tracker front left service, as well as 1989-1998 Suzuki Sidekick front left and 1989-1997 Geo Tracker front left applications, this axle supports OE-style fitment and driveline function. It also fits 1996-1998 Suzuki X-90 front left, 1994-1997 Pontiac Sunrunner front left, and 1989-1991 GMC Tracker front left.

This part cross-references Suzuki 4410260A00 and Geo 96058646 for the same application. The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line is built around testing and remanufacturing practices that address repeat failure causes, with verified shaft straightness and boot construction intended to maintain consistent performance in daily driving.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured outer boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light issues after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or missing
• Grinding or thumping from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1998 Chevrolet Tracker, front left; 1989-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, front left; 1996-1998 Suzuki X-90, front left; 1989-1997 Geo Tracker, front left; 1994-1997 Pontiac Sunrunner, front left; and 1989-1991 GMC Tracker, front left
• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axle assemblies to help prevent leaks
• Inspect ABS sensor components and wiring near the axle before final assembly

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle failure analysis to improve durability and fit. Each shaft is verified for straightness, and the axle is assembled with materials and sealing details selected to support reliable driveline operation in the listed Chevrolet Tracker, Suzuki Sidekick, Geo Tracker, Pontiac Sunrunner, and GMC Tracker applications.
