Product Details

Cardone’s CV Axle Assembly line is engineered from testing and failure analysis of original drive axles. For this application, the design focuses on common wear points such as boot stress, seal life, and shaft straightness. Neoprene boots use added bellows where needed to reduce cracking and stress, while each shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain smooth, vibration-free operation at speed. The transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long service life.

This part cross-references Saturn OE numbers 22626886 and 22718646 for the same application. Use Cardone 66-1402 when replacing a worn or damaged front right CV axle on a 2002-2003 Saturn Vue.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

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

Installation Notes

• Fits 2002-2003 Saturn Vue, front right only.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axles to help prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone builds this CV axle assembly using engineering methods developed from CV drive axle testing and remanufacturing experience. Each shaft is verified for straightness to help reduce vibration, and the boot and seal details are designed to address common failure points seen in original equipment axles.
