Built for OE-Style Driveline Performance

Cardone’s CV axle engineering focuses on the failure points that commonly affect front-drive and all-wheel-drive driveline service. The 66-1345 uses a splined input and output connection style, includes an ABS ring, and is assembled to support smooth operation under load. For drivers searching for a front CV axle for 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer front right, 2002-2009 GMC Envoy front left, or 2005-2009 Saab 9-7x front right, this assembly provides a direct-fit replacement path. This part cross-references Isuzu 8260797890 and Oldsmobile/Saab 26079789 for the same application.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

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

Installation Notes and Tips

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, as this can separate the axle and damage the inner joint. Always install a new transaxle seal when replacing CV drive axle assemblies, and torque the retaining nut with a torque wrench to the manufacturer specification. Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. If the old axle is stuck in the hub, use an appropriate removal method to avoid damaging the hub or bearing.

Cardone builds this CV axle assembly using engineering and testing methods developed from extensive CV driveline experience. Shafts are verified for straightness to help deliver vibration-free performance, and the boot and grease package are selected to support long service life under heat and torque.
