Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle assembly line is engineered from failure analysis of original CV components, with design updates aimed at reducing repeat boot and joint issues. The axle shaft is inspected for runout and straightness, helping maintain balanced operation at speed. Precision-machined sealing surfaces and durable boot construction support reliable sealing and consistent performance in daily driving conditions. This part number, 66-1327, is a direct-fit replacement for front axle service on applications such as the Buick Lucerne, Cadillac DTS, Cadillac DeVille, Cadillac Seville, Pontiac Bonneville, and Oldsmobile Aurora.

This part cross-references Buick 15869612 and Cadillac 26075603 for the same application.
