Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is part of the Cardone CV Axle Assembly line, which focuses on OE-style driveline replacement engineering. The design addresses common CV axle failure points such as boot cracking, seal wear, and shaft runout by using verified straight shafts, durable boot construction, and precision-machined sealing surfaces. Part number 66-1479 is a practical replacement choice for rear left driveline service on the Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, and Chevrolet Captiva Sport.

This part cross-references Chevrolet/Pontiac/Saturn OE number 22727020 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking, snapping, or grinding noises from the rear driveline during turns or acceleration
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or suspension area
• Vibration caused by axle shaft runout or wear
• ABS warning light issues after axle replacement when sensor components are disturbed
• Seal leakage at the transaxle or differential interface

Installation Notes

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint
• 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
• Inspect and replace transaxle seals when needed to help prevent leaks
• Verify sensor rings, sensors, and nearby wiring are not damaged during installation

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed OE performance targets. Each shaft is checked for straightness, and the sealing and boot components are designed to support reliable operation under driveline load and temperature changes.
