Product Details

Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-1458 is part of Cardone’s CV Drive Axle line, which focuses on correcting common failure points found in original axles. The boot design uses neoprene construction with added bellows where needed to reduce stress and help resist ozone cracking, while each shaft is individually checked for straightness to support smooth, vibration-free operation. This part cross-references Chevrolet 22873498 and 25821835 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage from a ruptured boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft distortion
• ABS warning light issues after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or missing
• Noise or binding from a failing inner or outer joint

Installation Notes

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing the axle to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect the ABS sensor, wiring, and ring during installation to avoid speed signal faults.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Shafts are verified for straightness to help reduce vibration, and the boot and grease system are selected to support long service life under driveline load. Part number 66-1458 is new and supplied as a complete axle assembly with instruction sheet.
