Product Details

Cardone 66-1368 is part of the CV Axle Assembly line, engineered for OE-style driveline service on the Buick Rendezvous and Pontiac Aztek front right position. The design focuses on common failure causes seen in original CV axles, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, vibration, and seal wear. Shafts are individually verified for straightness to help maintain smooth operation at speed, and the included ABS ring supports vehicles that rely on a wheel speed signal at the axle.

This part cross-references Buick 10424905 and Pontiac 10424905 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns
• Grease leakage around a torn outer boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• ABS warning light after axle replacement
• Grinding noise from a worn CV joint

Installation Notes

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service.
• Use a torque wrench for the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new spindle nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when installing a new CV axle assembly.
• Inspect the ABS sensor, ring, and wiring before and after installation to avoid signal faults.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to address repeat-failure conditions found in original equipment designs. The shaft is checked for straightness, the boot design is built to resist cracking, and the assembly is prepared for vibration-free performance across the operating range.
