Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-1300

Cardone 66-1300 is a new front left CV axle assembly built for specific Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications. It is engineered for OE-level fit and smooth driveline operation, with attention to boot durability, shaft straightness, and seal performance.

Key Features

• Fits front left applications for 1991-1996 Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models listed below
• ABS ring included with 48 teeth for proper speed signal operation
• New axle retaining nut and spindle nut included for service replacement
• Splined input and output connections for direct driveline fitment
• Neoprene boots with added bellows help resist stress and ozone cracking
• Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped for a secure boot-to-housing seal
• High-temperature, high-torque grease supports long-lasting joint performance
• Shafts are individually verified for straightness to reduce vibration

Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is designed for drivers replacing a worn or noisy front axle on a Chevrolet Cavalier, Pontiac Grand Am, Pontiac Sunbird, Oldsmobile Achieva, Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, or Chevrolet Corsica. The Cardone 66-1300 uses precision-machined sealing surfaces after heat treatment and a verified straight shaft to help maintain smooth operation at speed. It is a practical OE-style replacement for front left driveline service on these vehicles.

This part cross-references Chevrolet (e.g., 26018510, 26018512) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns
• Grease leakage from a torn or cracked CV boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• Grinding or popping noises from the axle area
• ABS warning light issues related to axle sensor ring damage or mismatch

Installation Notes

Fits 1996 Oldsmobile Achieva, front left; 1996 Pontiac Grand Am, front left; 1992-1995 Oldsmobile Achieva, front left; 1991-1995 Pontiac Grand Am, front left; 1992-1994 Chevrolet Cavalier, front left; 1992-1994 Pontiac Sunbird, front left; 1992-1993 Chevrolet Corsica, front left; and 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, front left. Verify spline count, ABS ring count, and axle length before installation. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, and do not reuse the old prevailing-torque nut. Torque the new nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification with a torque wrench. Replace transaxle seals when servicing the axle to help prevent leaks.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle remanufacturing experience to address common failure points such as boot cracking, seal wear, and shaft runout. Each shaft is inspected for straightness to support vibration-free performance across the operating range.
