Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is part of the Cardone CV Axle Assembly line, which focuses on replacement driveline components engineered to address common failure points found in original CV axles. The design uses neoprene boots with added bellows where needed to reduce stress and ozone cracking, while the shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain smooth operation at speed. High-temperature grease, pneumatically crimped boot clamps, and precision-machined seal surfaces support long-term driveline service.

This part cross-references Pontiac 10424904 and 19153645 for the same application. For shoppers searching by vehicle, Cardone 66-1445 is a direct-fit front right CV axle assembly for 2005-2009 Chevrolet Uplander, 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous, and related Pontiac, Saturn, and Buick front-wheel-drive platforms.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns
• Grease leakage from a torn outer CV boot
• Vibration or thumping during acceleration
• ABS warning light after axle replacement
• Grinding or wobble caused by a worn outer CV joint

Installation Notes

• Do not 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 the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the new nut supplied with the axle.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV axle assemblies 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 engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Each shaft is verified for straightness to reduce vibration, and the assembly is built with materials and processes selected to improve durability in real-world driveline service.
