Product Details

Cardone CV axle assemblies are engineered from testing and remanufacturing experience focused on the causes of repeat CV failure. This axle uses a neoprene boot design with added bellows where needed to reduce bellows stress and ozone cracking, while the shaft is individually verified for straightness to support smooth, vibration-free operation at speed. High-temperature grease and pneumatically crimped boot clamps help maintain joint protection and sealing integrity.

This part cross-references Chevrolet 96485018 and 96485020 for the same application. Cardone 66-1422 is a direct-fit replacement for front right service on Aveo, Aveo5, Swift+, G3, G3 Wave, Wave, and Wave5 models listed in the fitment data.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

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

Installation Notes and Tips

• Never let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; support the shaft to avoid inner joint damage.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the new nut supplied with the axle.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing the axle to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect the ABS sensor, wiring, and ring during installation to avoid an erratic speed signal.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs its CV drive axles around known failure points and verifies shafts for straightness to help deliver consistent performance. The product is new and includes the components listed in the package contents for the specified applications.
