Product Details

Cardone 66-1413 is part of the brand’s CV Axle Assembly line, which is focused on replacement driveline components engineered to address common causes of repeat failure. The axle uses a splined 34-count input shaft and a splined 30-count output shaft, with a compressed length of 23.2677 inches and an M24 x 2 spindle nut thread size. The included ABS ring supports vehicles equipped with wheel speed sensing at the axle.

This part cross-references Chevrolet 15266438 and Pontiac 15892222 for the same application. For Pontiac G6 and Chevrolet Malibu owners searching for a front right CV axle assembly, Cardone 66-1413 provides a direct replacement option built for driveline service.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage around the axle from a ruptured boot
• Vibration at speed caused by axle runout or shaft distortion
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or missing
• Thumping or driveline shake from a failing inner or outer CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; support the shaft to avoid joint damage.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; replace it with the supplied spindle nut.
• Inspect transaxle seals and replace them during axle service if wear or leakage is present.
• Verify the ABS sensor, wiring, and ring are not damaged during installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Shafts are checked for straightness and runout, and the boot and seal design is intended to improve durability in demanding driveline conditions.
