Built for CV Drive Axle Service

Cardone’s CV Drive Axle line is developed from testing and engineering experience focused on reducing repeat failure. The neoprene boot design uses additional bellows where needed to reduce stress and ozone cracking, while each shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain vibration-free operation at speed. The transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to support proper sealing and longer seal life. This part cross-references GM OE numbers such as 10359412 and 22719565 for the same application.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn outer boot
• Front-end vibration caused by a bent or out-of-round axle shaft
• Grinding or popping noises from a worn CV joint
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or missing

Installation Notes

Fits 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, front left; 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, front left; 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, front left; 2006 Pontiac G4, front left; and 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit, front left. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow manufacturer torque specifications; do not use an impact wrench for final tightening. Replace the old prevailing-torque nut rather than reusing it, and install new transaxle seals when replacing CV axle assemblies.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers this CV axle assembly to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets through application-specific testing, shaft straightness verification, and boot design improvements aimed at reducing common failure causes. Part number 66-1371 is supplied new and includes an instruction sheet for service reference.
